[webkit-dev] Initializing member variables

[Geoff Garen]

+1 for { } because I like catching bugs.

But also: If Chris is right that { } is the only way to handle types without constructors, and the goal is to pick one syntax, then { } is the only possible solution, because standardizing on = would require exceptions for types without constructors.

Thanks,
Geoff
