[Mono-list] Suggestion: warning "member variable not initialized"

[Brian Deacon]

Ugh... how very slashdot of me to talk out of my !@#$%^&*() like that. 
I'm officially cutting down my slashdot time starting today.  :)

Interesting lesson, however.  I was speaking ex-rectum by just assuming
that this error was universal:

void SomeMethod(){
	int i;
	Console.WriteLine( i );  //blows chunks
}

Are there any other situations of implied initialization?  (Err, the
above being an example of no-implied-initialization.)
