Does the C specification allow for a C implementation on a hypothetical load-store architecture machine in which:

	a byte is 8 bits plus an "initialized bit";

	the "uninitialize" instruction has a memory-location operand, and clears the initialized bit;

	a store instruction set the initialized bit on all bytes to which it stores;

	a load instruction traps if any of the bytes from which it's loading doesn't have the initialized bit set?
