   By default the `initialize` code is not executed when importing .olean files.
   When this flag is set to `true`, the initializers are executed.
   This method is meant to be used by the Lean frontend only.
 
   Remark: it is not safe to run `initialize` code when using multiple threads.
+  Remark: Any loaded native Lean code must match its imported version. In particular,
+    no two versions of the same module may be loaded when this flag is set.
+    No native code may be loaded after its module has been imported.
   Remark: The Lean frontend executes this method at startup time.
