What do you think about explicitly initialising each field after all?
I can easily repurpose the ASE-checking script to do that.
I understand the original reason for having optional fields, but the
workaround is beginning to feel a bit convoluted. There's also more
room for confusion than there was originally, now that we have the
ASE field too.
Thanks,
Richard
