There is absolutely no need to change the behavior of object().
And for having a routine that does what is being proposed 
dummy data can do that same thing.

LOL.  "Not special enough"?  You should be able to assign it to something 
legal that will work as a starting case anyway.  If I got an uninitialized
variable in my code I hope the compiler or interpreter will tell me
before test execution.  I don't want to test for that while its executing.
