The Perl XS contructor wrappers had to use `init` and not `new` in order to enable subclassing. At the time it was inconvenient to generate code off of `init` while generating pod off of `new`, especially since some abstract classes had `init` but not `new`. So I just started attaching the docucomments to `init`. > Does that make sense?
