What about `value:`?
`ptr.initialize(value: value)` `ptr.initialize(value: value,
count: 13)` `ptr.initialize(as: UInt16.self, at: 0, value:
value, count: 13)`
Doesn't read as a sentence. Consider how "initialize to 3"
sounds different from "initialize value 3".
Personally, I'd go with:
ptr.initialize(to: value) ptr.initialize(to: value,
repeatCount: 3)
(Or just `repeat`/`repeating` if you don't feel like you need
the word "count" to disambiguate.)
Per Swift API naming guidelines, initializers don't have to read
as sentences IIRC, and I'd be inclined to grant a function named
`initialize(_:)` the same courtesy.
I know it's late to chime in here, but: that's not an initializer.
