A good question. Formally it is not needed, but in general initializing variables before use remains 
a good idea. Here the TVarData is passed to VarDataCastTo, and after initializing we can be sure 
that VarDataCastTo won't find garbage in remaining 4 bytes of structure if it accesses them for 
whatever reason.
