It would be great to have some documentation regarding how to go about custom initializing Realm objects in Swift. Most of the old docs which discussed the need/requirement for convenience init's has been removed. Also, most of the Git posts and replies date back to 2014/2015. So some clear guidance about using custom inits. (oh, and totally unrelated but some docs showing how to implement protocol's and codable Realm objects would be snappy! A LOT of folks ask about it on SO)
