Thanks for noting. This may be an interesting argument in whether we should
remove "explicit" on multiple-argument constructors or not. I'm not sure
though, how useful the ability to disallow direct initialization from a
braced init list is. It's rather obvious what harm can an implicit call to
a single-argument constructor cause, but with braced init lists a mistake
is much less likely, imo.

Matt, what do you think about this?
