Fetching uninitialzed values from arrays

[Simon Glover]

Does Parrot make any guarantee about the value of an uninitialzed array
element, or should I expect the value returned by:

new P0, .FixedBooleanArray
set P0, 1
set I0, P0[0]

to be garbage? (Just to be clear - I think it's fine if it is garbage,
but I couldn't find an explicit statement of policy in the docs).

When I wrote the Fixed*Arrays, I left garbage values for all of the
value type arrays and put in NULLs for String arrays and PMCNULLs for
PMC arrays. The idea was to make them as simple as possible.
