+1 for { } as well, for all the mentioned good reasons.
But just to be complete, there's one exception that should probably be noted
if/when we document this:
For classes that have a constructor taking `std::initializer_list<T>` and other
constructors that take `T` (+ conversions), using braced-initialization will
*always* call the initializer_list one! In this case, we'd need to use
parentheses if another constructor was wanted. E.g.: `std::vector<int> vb { 3,
2 }` -> [ 3 2 ], vs `std::vector<int> vp(3, 2);` -> [ 2 2 2 ] (3 copies of
value 2)!
At a glance, I haven't found WK classes that have both types of competing
constructors together, so hopefully this should be a rare issue. May be worth
another guideline, like "If you define a constructor taking
std::initializer_list<type>, avoid defining other constructors for similar
types"?
Cheers,
Gerald
