Standard programming techique:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sentinel_value#:~:text=In%20computer%20programming%2C%20a%20sentinel,a%20loop%20or%20recursive%20algorithm.

Not if the size is larger that the number of initializers. That would leave
zeroed elements at the end.

How is that done in C++17? I didn't find anything about that.
