Thank you.

That does make sense to me. I would have done it in the "passes" for "parse/scan". But what you say makes sense to do in the "prep" for Code Gen.

Of course, compiler development has changed tremendously since I was working with it back in the '70s (NOT COBOL and NOT IBM architecture stuff).

There is an RFE on this topic and it has been accepted.  There is no target date for that 
RFE.   The issue is this:  we implemented INITCHECK in the optimizer (not parse/scan.)  
That's because it has to do optimizer like things such as "Use/Def" tracking 
and it has to use aliases.  So a word of warning:  we plan to enable INITCHECK at OPT(0) 
but when when INITCHECK is running we still need to do some of these compute intensive 
operations so the OPT(0) compile will take longer.  (Not as long as OPT(1) or OPT(2) but 
longer than OPT(0)
