//! The value a C member takes when the stream does not carry it.
//!
//! Table 9 of DDS-XTypes 1.3, as C. The reflective column's copy of the
//! same table is `crates/wire-probe/src/default.rs`, and that module
//! carries the clause quotations and the reasoning for the three kinds
//! Table 9 does not list. Deliberately a second derivation and not a
//! call into the first: the two columns are compared against each other,
//! and a shared helper would make them agree about a mistake.
//!
//! ## What the C column has to do that the reflective one does not
//!
//! Give the member somewhere to be. A `string` is a `const char *`, so
//! its default is the string literal `""` — no heap, because an empty
//! string needs no storage and taking some would make a default value
//! able to fail. A `sequence<T>` is a count beside a pointer, so its
//! default is `0` and `NULL`; §7.2.2.4.4.4.7 asks for "a zero-length
//! sequence", which is what a length of zero is whatever the pointer
//! says. An `@optional` member is its pointer set to NULL and
//! nothing else — "Implementations shall not provide a default value in
//! such a case."
//!
//! One default does need storage: a member that is not `@optional` and
//! whose type reaches the structure that declares it back. C holds such
//! a member as a pointer (`adapter/c.rs`, `c_held_member_type`), and
//! Table 9's value is a value of the member's type, so the pointer has
//! to point at one. The storage comes from the same arena the reader
//! allocates a sequence's buffer from, and only the defaulters whose
//! default reaches such a member take the reader to get it
//! ([`takes_reader`]); every other defaulter keeps `(T *v)`.
