title: Automapper - why use Mapper.Initialize?
body: <p>I wouldn't normally ask this kind of question on here, but unfortunately whilst <a href="http://automapper.org/" rel="noreferrer">AutoMapper</a> seems to be a good mapping library, its documentation is woefully bad - there is no XML documentation for the library's methods, and the most official online documentation I could find was <a href="https://github.com/AutoMapper/AutoMapper/wiki" rel="noreferrer">this</a>, which is very brisk.  If anyone has any better documentation, please let me know.</p>
  
  <p>That said, here's the question: why use <code>Mapper.Initialize</code>?  It doesn't seem to be required as you can just use <code>Mapper.CreateMap</code> immediately, and as there is no documentation I have no clue what <code>Initialize</code> is meant to do.</p>
