to_container(v) is actually an existing work-around for compilers which can't even do Cont = list_of(...);
All it does is to deduce the return type; it doesn't write to v, it finds its type.
I should update the docs to make this a more used method of disambiguation
In the spirit of recent work by Eric Niebler, I think you can use: v = 0?v: list_of(...) FWIW ;-) -- Dave Abrahams Boost Consulting www.boost-consulting.com
