Ah, hmm... I think you're right there. This DOES result in some stuff no longer being zero-init since I am checking each field. And yeah, you're right, i don't think I have a test that validates that.
I actually wonder if the right answer is "Zero-initializable if ANY field is" or "Zero-init if the storage type" is? WDYT? The latter is a touch unfortunate, since our 'storage type' is determined after the fields are removed, and we previously decided it based on AST zero-init rules.
Anything we do here is going to be only vaguely related to the previous answers unfortunately.
I'll have to think about this further.
