Re: Zero_Fill pragma

[Marin David Condic <nobody@noplace.com>]

I think I meant more "contextually"... There is some prescident for 
stipulating you want things initialized a certain way to guarantee 
conditions for safety and predictability. Would this be the appropriate 
area of the ARM on which to focus if someone wants a pragma to 
initialize unused bits? Would a proposal presumably want to do things in 
a similar way to what already exists?

I'm not convinced yet of the utility of it, but if someone is making a 
proposed language extension, its nice to be sure its at least focused in 
the right area of the ARM...
