Thanks.

We were talking cross-purposes. I was thinking about partially initialized arrays in the context of a Rust-like type-checker. I don't think the analysis you ran in 1981 in a prover is possible in 2020 in a type-checker, at least without putting most of the bits dealing with partial initialization into unsafe-boxes.

It would be great if Rust-style type-based lifetime analysis could cope with partial initialization.
