when I put an `init` block under a property I can initialize it there. This doesn't seem to work anymore if this property has a setter. Is that correct?

I'm guessing it's because in the setter the backing field (with the initial value) is available. The `init` block will call the setter. So in the setter the field will already need to be initialized.

so I guess I would set it to a default value instead

yea or an own private backing property perhaps (if you wish to bypass the setter in the `init`)
