using the API before posthog.init() is called

[aroman]

is it safe to call posthog methods (e.g. posthog.capture) before posthog.init() has been called? will they be queued and flushed when (and if) the posthog client is eventually initialized?

I ask because we are considering moving to an architecture where we lazily initialize posthog once some async initial data is fetched (e.g. an initial distinctID for providing to posthog.initialize({bootstrap: distinctId})

from a quick skim of the source, it looks like the answer to my question is "no, don't do that"

however, I'd love for someone on the posthog team to chime in here as to the recommended best practice when a user's distinct ID is not known immediately
