It isn't a typo. {0} always works, for any kind of aggregate type. But 
if you would prefer to use {{0}}, you {{{{{{{can}}}}}}}.

It doesn't matter whether they "look heavy". What matters is whether the 
code is easy to read. It's easier to read if people know what the 
indices represent. Thanks to modern editors and their 'word completion' 
feature, the only real excuse (and it always /was/ just an excuse) for 
using short names --- that they take longer to type --- has gone.
