Why "can"? Is it possible for an initializer to not specify an initial value?

My understanding here is "can" means "can be used", but obviously it is not clear enough.

Note the comments from @zygoloid on my competing pull request #1616. We certainly should not merge the present pull request as-is.

Hi @jensmaurer, my proposal is from the perspective of respecting the original text and author, and minimize the change and maximize consistency. However, since you have done a larger rewrite, I will close it when your change is merged.

But without considering a rewrite, I believe the my proposed change is a proper one. Thanks!
