I agree completely! But of course that isn't how it is now. I guess I have spent too many years stuck on a single version of gcc that I tend not to think of changing the compiler readily enough. At least now I can upgrade the compiler freely.

Made me go check to be sure. Indeed even { } still throws the missing-initializers warning with gcc 4.8.3.
