Sprinkle in some asserts to make sure compilers aren't getting creative.
This may introduce a new compiler dependency, as I suspect older versions
of GCC don't support this syntax.
It definitely needs a new compiler flag to suppress a warning when some
fields are not explicitly initialized. If we've omitted a field, it's
because it's a field we don't know (or care) about, and we want that
thing initialized to zero.
