Requirement on <I>brace-or-equal-initializer</I>s of literal types

<P>The requirement in 6.8.4 [<A href="https://wg21.link/basic.life#10">basic.life</A>] paragraph 10 that</P>

<UL><LI>every constructor call and full-expression in the
<I>brace-or-equal-initializer</I>s for non-static data members (if
any) is a constant expression (7.7 [<A href="https://wg21.link/expr.const">expr.const</A>]),</LI></UL>

<P>is mostly redundant with the <TT>constexpr</TT> constructor
requirements in 9.2.6 [<A href="https://wg21.link/dcl.constexpr#4">dcl.constexpr</A>] paragraph 4 (although
11.9.3 [<A href="https://wg21.link/class.base.init">class.base.init</A>] does not establish a strict equivalence
between <I>brace-or-equal-initializer</I>s and
<I>mem-initializer</I>s).</P>



<P><B>Proposed resolution (April, 2013):</B></P>

<P>This issue is resolved by the changes in N3652, adopted at the
April, 2013 (Bristol) meeting.</P>
