This is in formats.h:

/* Initializes the algorithm's internal structures; valid() prepare() and split()
 * are the only methods that are allowed to be called before a call to init().
 * Note that initializing an algorithm might de-initialize some others (if
 * a shared underlying resource is used). */

Although we can most likely change the convention to include binary() with no changes to current code.
