--- Comment #2 from Roger Orr <rogero at howzatt dot demon.co.uk> ---
A braced initializer of characters appears to work consistently with both
compile time and run time arrays.
char buffer[size] = { 'a', 'b' };
produces a buffer with 'a', 'b' and zero padded whether size is a compile time
constant or a runtime value.
