parameter descriptions should not go across more than one line. At least
not in my code. Also, you don't need to add that it needs to be initialized
here. That belongs in the body.

And it's not a state variable. The description you got that from is wrong.

I'll go update it and give you a reported by, as the entire description
needs a rewrite.
