VB6 Class Init Params

Some people, myself included, wished vb6 allowed you to set some default parameters when you first create a class. Its just a small shortcut but its handy, especially if you have to set like 5-6 parameters. Upon further reflection this is a non-issue.
VB.net
dim c as new class1(1,"dog")
c.someMethod()
Traditional VB6
dim c as new class1
c.index = 1
c.name = "dog"
c.someMethod()
Honestly though it doesn't take much foresight to reduce the vb6 code
down to 2 lines as well which is functionally equivalent. Consider the following:
Dim c As New Class1
Call c.init(1, "dog").someMethod
Public index
Public name
Function init(i, n) As Class1
index = i
name = n
Set init = Me
End Function
Function someMethod()
MsgBox "Index: " & index & " Name: " & name
End Function
Universally default parameters of course are still set in class_initialize.
