Parent scope cannot be accessed from within the init() function of Alpine.data

[pomartel]

As demonstrated in this codepen, the parent scope is not accessible from within the init() function of Alpine.data().

However the parent scope is present when the x-init directive is used as demonstrated here.

Expected behaviour: The init() function should behave like x-init and have access to the parent scope.

Actual behaviour: The init() function does not have access to the parent scope.
