I somehow hoped to see that this shrinks the line count, as you are
essentially replacing two calls (malloc + memset) with one, but that
is not what is happening, which is a bit disapointing.

But this is a strict improvement, I guess.  The reader needs to be
familiar with the CALLOC_ARRAY() macro to understand it, which may
make the code less newbie-friendly (as opposed to malloc+memset any
reasonably competent C programmer would understand without any prior
knowledge of the conventions used by this project).
