+        Generates the operations that would be normally placed in a recipe's
+        init region. It inserts at the builder's current location.
+        It can be used either to directly "inline" the init region
+        or if the caller sets the insertion point to inside a recipe body,
+        it fills it in. This does not generate the `acc.yield` that normally
+        would terminate a recipe.
+
+        The `extents` are optional and can be empty - it is only when a
+        slice of the private variable needs allocation.
+        The `initVal` can be empty - it is primarily needed for reductions
+        to ensure the variable is also initialized with appropriate value.
+
+        If the return value is empty, it means that recipe body was not
+        successfully generated.
