I can see a lot of "sparse" inspired work went into this, but we
would want to take the previous discussion into account, as nothing
has changed since then.

Unfortunately we didn't reach a clear consensus back then; I thought
we saw a fix to make sparse silent when we use the "= { 0 }" idiom
in recent versions of sparse, but the above threads do not have any
mention of it, so either I am misremembering or there were other
discussions on the same topic where it was also mentioned.

Need blank before this line.

Thanks.
