Well, that's what I am asking, "better" is subjective ;-). When I see INITIAL, I think that something happened to make it INITIAL, IOW I do not feel much a difference with INITIALIZED. Maybe it's just me that needs convincing.
What are we trying to convey here? That "new" happened? IOW the ctor was called? Which should mean the object is initialized. Usually, decent design says that when you build an object with a ctor, you should initialize it, but here, of course, with builders, we are in a different situation. Maybe ALLOCATED happens before INITIALIZED? I kinda like ALLOCATED, it says "I've been built at a low level but I might be ready to go; put some gas in the engine before you tirn the key".
