Is there anything preventing us from initializing the 'unused' parts with 0
or -1 or whatever dummy value? As far as I understood Qt devs (in
particular Thiago I believe) won't remove the warning, so if its as easy as
initializing to some random value then we should do that to silence the
warning (as people will be looking at that and pointing fingers our
direction).
