Comment : | For this requirement in Vol.2, Section 5.4.2, Item (s) "Initializes every variable upon declaration where permitted", initializing all variables at declaration is inefficient and error prone. In fact, it defeats compiler warnings that would otherwise notify developers of variables that are tested before they are assigned. Proposed change: Remove this requirement.
