Uniform Copy Initialization

by Nicolai Josuttis

Excerpt:

C++ distinguishes between copy initialization and direct initialization (see 8.5 §17).

This has the effect that an explicit in a constructor disables copy initialization, while direct initialization is still supported.

This proposal suggests to deal with copy initializations as with direct initializations.
