C++ has a bunch of rules for when you can use a class/struct like a C
struct, one of them is it must have no non-public members, also no non
trivial constructors or destructors and a few other things, I got that
restriction by looking here
http://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/language/aggregate_initialization.

Also the point about not caring about how few members you give to the
initialiser is inherited from C which will just 0 any fields not
given.
