I'm new here so someone more experienced would have to weigh in,
but I would wonder a couple of things:
a. whether a braced struct assignment is supported in every C compiler that PostgreSQL still intends to support
b. whether such a struct assignment is guaranteed to initialize padding spaces as well as declared fields (in all
supported C versions/compilers).
It's possible that memset() would be more convincing.
