I see. :-P

So the semantics of readonly members is "members which are not
implicitly initialized, and must be explicitly initialized in the
constructor"... right?

So the C# semantics is itself error-prone, because implicit
initialization is error-prone.

Of course we cannot change the semantics! :-) On the other hand, my
suggestion as a warning might still be useful, maybe...
