While we support initializing records via coercion from an expression
list, e.g.,
local x: X = [$x1=1, $x2=2];
this can sometimes obscure the code to readers, e.g., when assigning to
value declared and typed elsewhere. The language runtime has a similar
overhead since instead of just constructing a known type it needs to
check at runtime that the coercion from the expression list is valid;
this can be slower than just writing the readible code in the first
place, see #4559.
With this patch we use explicit construction, e.g.,
local x = X($x1=1, $x2=2);

The notice framework enables Zeek to "notice" things which are odd or potentially bad, leaving it to the local configuration to define which of them are actionable. This decoupling of detection and reporting allows Zeek to be customized to the different needs that sites have.
