<P>9.5.2 [<A href="https://wg21.link/dcl.init.aggr#2">dcl.init.aggr</A>] paragraph 2
says,</P>

<BLOCKQUOTE>
When an aggregate is initialized the <I>initializer</I> can be an
<I>initializer-clause</I> consisting of a brace-enclosed,
comma-separated list of <I>initializer</I>s for the members of the
aggregate.
</BLOCKQUOTE>

Neither of these uses of the syntactic nonterminal <I>initializer</I>
corresponds to the grammar:

<UL>
<I>initializer</I>:
<UL>
<TT>=</TT> <I>initializer-clause</I>
</UL>
<UL>
<TT>(</TT> <I>expression-list</I> <TT>)</TT>
</UL>
</UL>

<P>
<B>Proposed resolution (10/99):</B> replace the quoted words with:</P>

<BLOCKQUOTE>
When an aggregate is initialized the <I>initializer</I> can
<INS>contain</INS> an <I>initializer-clause</I> consisting of a
brace-enclosed, comma-separated list of
<INS><I>initializer-clause</I>s</INS> for the members of the aggregate.
