| Thanks. So
|
|     // pseudocode initialization
|     vector< list< pair<string, string> > > test =
|         { { { "London", "England"}, { "Paris", "France"} },
|           { { "Sofa", "Living Room"}, { "Stove", "Kitchen"} },
|           { { "Brain", "Skull"}, { "Appendix", "Abdomen"} } };
|
| translates to
|
|     typedef pair<string, string>  pair_type;
|     typedef list<pair_type>       list_type;
|
|     vector< pair<string, string> > test =
|         list_of<list_type>(
|           list_of<pair_type>("London", "England")
|                             ("Paris", "France")
|         )
|         (
|           list_of<pair_type>("Sofa", "Living Room")
|                             ("Stove", "Kitchen")
|         )
|         (
|           list_of<pair_type>("Brain", "Skull")
|                             ("Appendix", "Abdomen")
|         );
|
| ?

well, yes. If everything worked as I would expect for a conforming
implementation, you can even say

= list_of( map_list_of( "London", Englang" )( "Sofa", "Living Room" ) )
            ( map_list_of( ... ) );

but, as said, g++ and/or g++'s standard library has problems...either in pair
or iterator range constructors.
