Overwriting fields in init struct.

bas:
Why would this not be an error?

lerno:
Motivation why it should be allowed is in the first post...

bas:
I think this is again a situation that does make the language a bit more complex, while not adding much.
Let's really keep the language as simple as possible. That way, (extra) tooling could add warnings for
unset functions more easily..

lerno:
I am concerned over the fact that we're excluding an important feature that's used in the linux kernel. I would actually claim that we're *not* adding much complexity, since we can actually prune this in the parsing step already!

bas:
I'll have to think about this.. I've put in on the Wiki Roadmap so we don't forget.

I did some searching in the kernel code, but couldn't find actual usages. I've done quite some kernel work also
and never actually saw this in use.
