FWIW, I agree. I had to scratch my head for a moment at why a memset of
"-1" would work at all on multi-byte types. I think it's better avoided
in the name of readability and obviousness, not to mention the trap it
leaves for items that don't sensibly initialize with it (like, say,
pointers).

As an aside, memset to 0 is _also_ undefined for pointers, but we long
ago decided not to care, as no real-world systems have a problem with
this.
