This issue is what stopped me contributing to the C++ standard. We knew brace initialisation was broken before C++11 came out, even std::vector was a mess.

  Well, the issue is not brace initialization per se, but the ambiguity with initilalizer_list.

    Yes, either feature in isolation would have been an improvement to C++, but their combination was a mess. Probably one of the features shouldn't have been added, or their combination needed some serious tidying.

      amen. The worst part is that initializer_list can be 'emulated' via variadic constructors.

      Was there a reason that array style braces ([]) weren't used?
