I wrote a script at one point for this for Coccinelle, and sent some
patches.  It requires some effort, because you want to run it over and
over - once function Y becomes init, some other functions might become
init as well.  The iteration could be done automatically with Coccinelle,
but I didn't take that option, because it semed safer to check the results
along the way.  A version of the script is attached.

julia

// No iteration.  Do it by hand.
