What am I doing wrong?
Well, you're not doing anything wrong. That section of the proposal was meant to be a "if the initializer lists proposal is accepted, then it would act like this." I didn't actually mean to propose any changes to the initializer syntax, and so I didn't implement them. (That said, it's a relatively simple feature to implement, if we need it to test something out). My motivation was to avoid the need for the "external" typedef
