Hi Nathan,
Thanks for this patch.  I discussed this syntax with our language
lawyers.  Turns out, this is not quite correct, as you're now saying
"initialize the first subobject to zero, but not the rest of the
object."  -Wmissing-field-initializers would highlight this, but it's
not part of -Wall.  It would be more correct to zero initialize the
full struct, including all of its subobjects with `= {};`.
