Summary
zeroas a contextually typed aggregate expressionWhy
The DOOM port exposed a language-level gap after initializerless
pub statedeclarations were corrected to remain external declarations: Haven had no concise way to request an owned, recursively zero-filled aggregate definition.This change keeps those meanings explicit:
zerohas its own CST, surface AST, and core AST form rather than overloading an empty brace initializer. It requires an expected aggregate type and rejects scalar, enum, and untyped uses.Impact
This is additive syntax, with
zerobecoming a reserved Haven keyword. C imports rename conflicting identifiers through the existing keyword handling.Validation
