I was so intrigued by string{"a","b"} (*) that I asked on c++std-core, and 
while so far there's been no authoritative answer as to whether VC++ is 
right or not (too early for that), Johannes Schaub has kindly pointed me to

http://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg21/docs/lwg-active.html#2238

and

http://stackoverflow.com/q/14587436/34509

which deal with similar issues.

(*) For the interested, this appears to call the InputIterator constructor, 
with predictable results.
