Yes, it's documented, but it doesn't feel like 'natural' behaviour. Why would you not want the init file called in this case.
Since this is the only way to turn off reading init files and thus have complete control over things? It is not clear to me whether you have a problem with the semantics of smiInit() or its documentation or both. Perhaps you can send a patch so I can better understand what you think is not 'natural'.
