I think that declaring a specific *valid* init value for an enum
has no purpose. But declaring a specific *invalid* init value, to
which the enum initializes to by default, is a very good idea.
The reason for why it's a good idea, is exactly the same as why
default-initializing floating point variables to NaN is a good
idea. Others have reasoned about that enough, thus I don't have
to.

True, it would break code.
