Without INIT block, the code is executed in order of module compilation.
This may mean that in some other module an object get's created (probably
some signleton) as class variable, before the trace default is set. But
that default must be set before the object is created, because it is
used in its initiation.

Leaving INIT away is probably better in some cases (like web) and
having it in is better in other, but how to solve both?
