Nope, it doesn't, but you can add an `eval' directive in your Local
Variables section, and evaluate a call to the init block, like this:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
# Local variables:
# eval: (sbe "init")
# End:
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

Best regards,
