There was a problem hiding this comment.
The LSG discussed this and we agree this is a niche enough case that the source break is acceptable.
One minor bit of editorial feedback: it's left to the reader to connect the dots that this only affects init accessors because you cannot write an initial value on a computed property that only has get/set accessors. To have an initial value on a computed property, you must have an init accessor. I think it's worth stating that explicitly in the section.
There is an additional source compatibility impact with `init` accessors, note it in the proposal text for posterity.
