inflight init not called when accessing nested preflight fields

[yoav-steinberg]

I tried this:

bring cloud;

class Foo {
  pub b: cloud.Bucket;

  new() {
    this.b = new cloud.Bucket();
  }

  inflight new() {
    this.b.put("hello.txt", "world");
  }
}

let foo = new Foo();

test "test" {
  log(foo.b.get("hello.txt"));
}

This happened:

I expected this:

to print "world"

Is there a workaround?

move the initialization logic to some other inflight method and call it before using the class:

test "test" {
  foo.do_init();
  log(foo.b.get("hello.txt"));
}

Anything else?

This is a result of of the lifting logic. Since we explicitly lift the preflight foo.b expression and we never actually just lift foo, foo's inflight init is never called.
