For quite large values of "these days"; for more than 3 decades as far
as my observation goes. - Deviations I've mostly only seen in contexts
of, say, uninitialized loop variables, like 'int i, j, k;'. But there's
also some folks who just don't care. That's why we had that regulated
with our coding standards in these early days.
