True. Or folks are being pedantic and summarizing a dozen NULL assignments
immediately after an alloc - I'd suggest that group takes a leap into a commented
block just for clarity, and we skip initializing long lists of NULL values.
Use pcalloc where the majority of the allocation is zeroed, and palloc everywhere
else.
