Yeah, and exactly that's the problem. As the discussion showed "{ { 0 } 
}" is buggy because it tells the compiler to only initialize the first

That is incorrect and rather dangerous cause it can lead to unforeseen 
results and should probably trigger a warning.

And I would rather prefer to have a working driver :)
