libstruct does not fill embedded arrays

If a structure member is defined to have a fixed-size array of numbers, such as int32#16, why does get(libstruct) display the corresponding field as an empty array [], rather than an array of the declared size filled with the default value for that type?

It only displays as [] for a null structure. If a libstruct object is created with no initial values then a null (unallocated) object is created. If any field is initialized (on creation or at a later time) then the array will show as filled with the default value for that type.
