	Yes, that does shut gcc up, but why is this now deemed
a warn-able offense?

	I realize fully bracketing is useful so you can do:
  item x[] = {		
     {"One",  "Two"},
     {"Three, },      /* Employee "Four" quit :-( */
     {"Five", "Six"},
  };
	and have it zero fill, but the question remains: 
"Why did you pull me over, officer?"
