I can certainly see some value in setting the default value of a type to "", ([]) or someting similar. I don't think it adds enough value to Pike to bother with it, but I don't dismiss it due to uselessness.

Ok. They didn't motivate it either. Reading a little between the lines it seems it's mostly there to avoid a bias to a default init value like zero, i.e. symmetry purely for its own sake. I don't give much for such arguments.
