<h2>Initialization</h2>
<p>
Puts the value of the i-time expression
<span class="emphasis"><em>iarg</em></span> into a k- or a-rate variable, i.e.,
initialize the result. Note that <span class="strong"><strong>init</strong></span> provides the only case of an
init-time statement being permitted to write into a perf-time
(k- or a-rate) result cell; the statement has no effect at
perf-time.
</p>
<p>
Since version 5.13 it is possible to initialise upto 24
variables of the same class in one statement. If there are more
output variables than input expressions then the last one is
repeated. It is an error to have more inputs than outputs.
