Let's not suggest any of the above.

I think we had a recent thread [*1*] on which we agreed that "{ 0 }"
is the way to spell "a naturally zero" initialization like this one,
if we were to spell it out.

TBH, I'd say that memset() is also OK as-is in this codebase as an
established way (git grep 'memset([^,]*, 0, sizeof' gives too many
hits).

Thanks.
