I'm not sure.
Maybe I'm just too used to reading memset(&foo, 0, sizeof(foo)),
but {{0},} seems very difficult to read.

Shouldn't a good C compiler notice something like a memset and inline
it when possible? They already can inline strlen on a constant.

That's a pretty big drawback.
What happens when a struct gets a struct as its first member?
Do all the {0,} inits for it have to change to {{0,},} ?
