-uninitialized_var()
--------------------
-For any compiler warnings about uninitialized variables, just add
-an initializer. Using the uninitialized_var() macro (or similar
-warning-silencing tricks) is dangerous as it papers over `real bugs

-(e.g. "unused variable"). If the compiler thinks it is uninitialized,
