The annotation `@Strict` actually has a javac side effect - it makes all initializer statements and constructor bodies early-construction by default. This is not compatible with the planned language evolution with `!` types. The PR #1952 fixes that javac side effect.

After both #1951 and #1952 are merged, I plan to move on to to the simplification you mentioned.
