Christopher, thanks for inquiring.

and: makestd::vector(1,2,3,4,5); // Makes a std::vector<int> containing 1,2,3,4,5 make_list(1,2,3,4,5); // Makes a list which can be assigned to any standard container, filling it with 1,2,3,4,5.

Something similar is already possible before the proposed extension e.g.

list_of(1)(2)(3)(4)(5).convert_to_container(); std::vector<int> vec = list_of(1)(2)(3)(4)(5);

Certainly this doesn't add anything new. Personally I prefer the look of (1,2,3,4,5) over (1)(2)(3)(4)(5), now that the core language supports it efficiently. Chris
