+The patch appears incomplete.  What about
+
+  System.ValueType foo = (bool) false;
+
+Also, the formatting needs to follow the coding guidelines.  I'm
+inclined to say that we skip the initialization with the default value
+only if:
+
+  * both types are the same
+  * or the type of the constant is null_type
