you're welcome. A small nitpick:
list_of( pair_type("Sofa", "Living Room") )
                 ( pair_type("Stove", "Kitchen") )
   can be done as   list_of<pair_type>( "Sofa", "Living Room")( "Stove",
"Kitchen")

Thanks. So

    // pseudocode initialization
    vector< list< pair<string, string> > > test =
        { { { "London", "England"}, { "Paris", "France"} },
          { { "Sofa", "Living Room"}, { "Stove", "Kitchen"} },
          { { "Brain", "Skull"}, { "Appendix", "Abdomen"} } };

translates to

    typedef pair<string, string>  pair_type;
    typedef list<pair_type>       list_type;

    vector< pair<string, string> > test =
        list_of<list_type>(
          list_of<pair_type>("London", "England")
                            ("Paris", "France")
        )
        (
          list_of<pair_type>("Sofa", "Living Room")
                            ("Stove", "Kitchen")
        )
        (
          list_of<pair_type>("Brain", "Skull")
                            ("Appendix", "Abdomen")
        );
