To clarify it isn't required to have the initializer in the first cogroup
because the first aggregator will have the value type. I like how the
initializer makes it abundantly clear that the final type will be that.
Right now I'm split because the case may be made that you want to supply a
different initializer to different aggregate calls, but like I said it
makes it clear to the user what their final value is going to be.
