FWIW
char foo[10] = { 0 };
"means" set foo[0] to 0 and leaves foo[1..9] unspecified.
Which is just what we don't want.
If array is global/static it is best to not intialize it at all
as ".bss" is bulk initiallized to zero.
If we really want this then use Zero(foo,sizeof(foo),char);
And if array is auto then initiallizing it isn't base-line C at all
(though gcc can do it).
