mootools

Mootools classes have an initialize() method that's called when a new object is instantiated.

It seems that setup() is a commonly used method as well.

Most classes I've observed call this.setup() from initialize() and nowhere else, which has left me wondering:

What's the purpose of setup()? Why not just put the setup() code in initialize()? When does it make sense to use a setup() method?
