Description
Discussed at #t-libs > Questions and polls about `libc` 1.0 @ 💬, we would like to have a Default impl for pretty much everything. This should be part of s!/s_no_extra_traits! but won't work out of the box with a derive.
In particular, we need a workaround for [T; N] where N > 32, and unions somehow.

Research direction
Start by reading the s! and s_no_extra_traits! macro definitions and the linked Zulip discussion. Investigate how Default could cover the generated bindings, especially [T; N] for N > 32 and unions. Done means the intended broad set of types has working Default implementations without relying directly on an unsuitable derive.
