It may be technically unnecessary, but why is that a reason to not do
it? I intentionally did this to make it clear what the defaults are.
Otherwise the defaults are essentially undefined, which is not good.
Maybe the structure initializes to the correct defaults, but why count
on that when we can set them to the correct default, and have it clear
to readers of the code?
jamie.
