Well, you can ask the developers for the reason. I remember stumbling  
across it myself at one point. However, I also remember there was a  
fairly sensible reason for that. -dash calling is meant for  
initialisation so in a sense you can think of it as belonging to the  
init. It is, after all, the method used for initialising parameters.
