Why not make an iterator adaptor (initialization_iterator?) that holds a list of values with which to initialize.  And then pass it to any of the STL containers.  (I can post my implementation if it's interesting):

        std::list<int> primes(
                make_init_iterator<int>(2)(3)(5)(7)(11)(), 
                make_init_iterator<int>());
