Can we just abolish memset() and memcpy() and let the compiler work it out?
The only time these should ever be used is on a memory buffer of raw bytes.
The compiler could detect the formula "for (i = 0; i < X; ++i) buff[i]=0;"
where buff is an array of a built in type.

Using memset() and memcpy() on classes or structures in C++ should be
abolished.
Just preaching to the choir again.
