I initialize variables to 0 and seeing this discussion made me realize
that my choice is driven by my C / C++ background, where 0 is
'null'... old habits die hard!

At least we're all in agreement that using 'var' (and therefore having
to initialize variables) is a good thing, especially for things like
query variables that many people otherwise forget...
