Even when the ansi option is set, Saber doesn't allow initialization
of automatic structures. The code
struct point3D p1 = {4.0, 5.0, 7.4};
gets an error message. The gcc compiler doesn't complain. The ANSI
standard clearly allows initialization of automatic structures. This
is noted in K&R, 2nd edition on page 219.
