Pattern initialization for heap can be used as a "poor man's MSan".
Also, it absolutely introduces a language dialect, as in certain code will now reliably work that did not work before. I think security considerations trump that in this case, but it's good to have pattern init as an option, at lease.

I agree on calloc, zeroing memory is in the function's contract.
