This would require you to check and refactor the whole class, instead of just adding a body. It doesn't make sense. I don't understand this paragraph at all. The proposed syntax doesn't change anything about how readonly works, as far as I know. Any "primary constructor body" or "init block", whatever syntax it had, would have exactly the same abilities and limitations regarding readonly properties as a normal constructor. It would just be a different way of spelling it. Rowan Tommins [IMSoP]
