Constructor to specify zero-initialization of all builtin members?

Question

Is there a simpler way for a class\'s constructor to specify that all members of built-in type should be zero-initialized?

For something working in C++98, you can use Boost's value_initialized: (live example)

#include 
...
struct Money
{
    boost::value_initialized amountP, amountG, totalChange;
    boost::value_initialized twenty, ten, five, one, change;
    boost::value_initialized quarter, dime, nickel, penny;

    void foo();
    Money()  {/*every member is 0*/}
};
