I think that's a good thing to test out, FWIW I've also tested it on the IBM xlc, Oracle SunCC and HP/UX's aCC, they all seem to accept it.

But I'd prefer just doing that in some general follow-up to bd4232fac33 (Merge branch 'ab/struct-init', 2021-07-16), i.e. let's just use the init pattern it established here.
