Memory allocated by the compiler is always initialized, but this is not true for the compiler. As a result if an array is longer than its initializer, it is not guaranteed that the remaining elements are zero.
It would be handy if:
word xx[10]={}
ensured zero filled array in the interpreter, just as it does in the compiler.
