How widely do you envision the users of this symbol would be spread
across the entire codebase?  I am debating myself if we need a
singleton in-core copy like this (if we end up referring to it from
everywhere), or we only need one level higher abstraction,
e.g. "is_empty_tree_oid()" helper (in which case I do not think we
even need a singleton; just imitate how is_empty_blob_sha1() is
implemented).

Even if we need such a singleton, I think we avoid ".field = value"
struct initializations in our code.
