My view of the issue is that the "trick" of "evaluating" a name to see
if the object has been initialized is just a tad on the "tricky" side,
and the annotation/value is really incorrect.
The name at the point you are annotating it, isn't really a "bool"
because a bool will always have either the value "True" or "False",
while for this variable, you are really testing if it exists or not.
Perhaps a better method would be rather than just using the name and
catching the exception, use a real already_initialized flag (set to True
when you initialize), and look it up with getattr() with a default value
of False.
