-Enforcing sound initialization is a non-goal of this proposal. However, once we have a type
-system where nullability is explicit, we can use a sound initialization scheme like the one
-proposed by @liufengyun and @biboudis in [https://github.com/lampepfl/dotty/pull/4543](https://github.com/lampepfl/dotty/pull/4543) to eliminate this particular source of unsoundness.
+The unsoundness above can be caught by the compiler with the option `-Ycheck-init`.
+More details can be found in [safe initialization](./safe-initializaion.md).
