Research direction
Start by reading the s! and s_no_extra_traits! macro definitions and the linked Zulip discussion. Investigate how Default could cover the generated bindings, especially [T; N] for N > 32 and unions. Done means the intended broad set of types has working Default implementations without relying directly on an unsuitable derive.
Written by the indexing model from the issue text.
Description
Discussed at #t-libs > Questions and polls about `libc` 1.0 @ 💬, we would like to have a Default impl for pretty much everything. This should be part of s!/s_no_extra_traits! but won't work out of the box with a derive.
In particular, we need a workaround for [T; N] where N > 32, and unions somehow.
