I wish ISO C had gone the same place gcc (and C++ ?) went, and allowed
the initializer {}, which would eliminate any chance of it misleading
a casual reader.
If that were the case, I would be +1 on just using the {} syntax.
But given that the standard is stuck on requiring a first element,
I am +1 on using the macro, just to avoid giving any wrong impressions,
even fleeting ones.
