I think 7.1.3 is intended to apply to shared slots as well, because 7.1.1
explicitly states "An initialization argument that initializes a shared slot
stores its value into the shared slot, replacing any previous value." (though
don't forget that this only happens when the slot is unbound, i.e. typically
the first time).
