Also, the spec says this:

"Members are always initialized to the default initializer  for their
type, which is usually 0 for integer types and NAN for floating point
types. This eliminates an entire class of obscure problems that come
from neglecting to initialize a member in one of the constructors."

This suggests, to me, that default initialization _is_ - at least in
Walter's mind - supposed to eliminate bugs.
