These assertions can only trigger because of bugs in the bindings
implementation or in the C code and not because of bugs in calling code,
so using debug assertions is perfectly fine for them and reduces the
number of assertions inlined everywhere in release builds.

This should be analogous to C struct initalizers where all unspecified
fields are initialized to zero. Without mut this reads a bit nicer as
well.
Note that two out of three structs have all members specified, hence
need no zero-initialization of the remainder at all.
They can actually be shared with multiple threads at the same time
safely as all functions requiring an immutable reference are
thread-safe.
OTOH TypeFind can't be shared safely between different threads as not
all implementations of the TypeFind struct are thread-safe.
