DIP 1031--Deprecate Brace-Style Struct Initializers--Community Review Round 1 Feedback

[bachmeier]

I don't oppose what's being proposed, but I do have feedback on 
the DIP.

That doesn't provide much motivation for removing an existing 
feature from the language. There might be reasons to prefer one 
approach over the other depending on what you're doing. I think 
it's motivated by DIP 1030, in which case that should be the 
rationale.

The only example is this:

S s = { 1, 2 }; // Deprecated: use S(1, 2) instead

That's a simple case to handle, but is every case of breakage 
going to be this simple?
