static_assert on initializer_list::size()

“Initializer lists” are just horrible kludges.

Don’t:

#include <initializer_list>

template<typename T>
void Dont(std::initializer_list<T> list) { // Bad!
    static_assert(list.size() == 3, "Exactly three elements are required.");
}

void Test() { Dont({1,2,3}); }

Do:

template<typename T, std::size_t N>
void Do(const T(&list)[N]) { // Good!
    static_assert(N == 3, "Exactly three elements are required.");
}

void Test() { Do({1,2,3}); }
