Hmmm, if I looked at this a few years down the road, I'll most likely
end up wondering if there was a clever reason to word it like that,
and simply shutting up compiler warnings would be low on my list of
suspects :)
I think I'll just go for this instead:

// suppress uninitialized use gcc warning

if it's still an option :)
