> [reading memory} always will behave precisely and consistently

What is the point of not making it UB? You can't AFAICS possibly rely on any useful way on it behaving 'precisely and consistently' so just make it UB anyway?

I think this lets you copy it around, e.g. when you have a struct that you have partially initialized.

That makes sense, finally. Thanks.
