	229	644	(sv-bc)  (struct initialization)
   
[NOTE: here is what sv-ec received on 229 from April 11th sv-bc meeting:
The SV-BC reviewed the proposal to address issue 229 in
its April 11th meeting.  It was not approved.  Here's
the message that the committee agreed to convey
to the EC:

  The SV-BC did not pass the proposed resolution to issue
  229 as captured in Mantis #644.  The motion failed 
  with only abstention.


Those abstaining felt that making such a change so late
in the lifecycle of the LRM was not a good idea.  They
had concerns about issues such as:
 -continuous assignment to variables
 -initializer passed with with Type through parameters
  which is a new paradigm.
