There's no reason those properties couldn't be set in the constructor
function. That's how most languages would handle this issue. I wouldn't mind
seeing some sort of actual constructor function added to the CFC
architecture, instead of just using the "soft" constructor which simply
consists of stuff not wrapped within CFFUNCTION tags.
