State issue needs clarification (hackathon feedback)

Make it super clear in the docs that the state won't work if it's not initalized when set as a property, even if it does in the initializer. Example:

//prop: string;
prop: string = '';

@initialize({})
init() {
    this.prop = 'initial value'
}

It is mentioned in README: https://github.com/near/near-sdk-js#nearbindgen-and-other-decorators

Your class must have a constructor(). You will not be able to call it, which is why it should not accept any parameters. You must declare all the parameters that you are planning to use in the constructor and set default values.

But yes, let's make it more clear.

I wonder if there is something like 'strict' mode that will require users to do that.

@volovyks its possible by adding condition in babel transformer like this

if(child.kind == 'constructor') {
              hasConstructor = true;
}

If you want I can create PR :)
