Christopher, thanks for inquiring.

Something similar is already possible before the proposed extension e.g.

     list_of(1)(2)(3)(4)(5).convert_to_container<std::vector<int> >();
     std::vector<int> vec = list_of(1)(2)(3)(4)(5);

In the proposed extension, cref_csv(1,2,3,4,5) or 
cref_list_of(1)(2)(3)(4)(5) can do the same but keep references to the 
arguments rather than copying them. Also, I have formalized the rules of 
conversion in the doc:
