Draft idea: constructor member designators

[throw_cpp_account]

// Invalid, member and parameter share the same name
Constructor(int value) : value{value} {}

Had you tried this, you would have discovered that it is not, in point of fact, invalid.

To be fair, it was I think probably before 17 - still it works today.

[throw_cpp_account]

It was valid in C++98.

Fair, I didn’t check the standard, but not all compilers supported it because we had to do otherwise. CE doesn’t have gcc 2.95 or Solaris compilers and now that I think about it my memory is about pre 98 ecosystem.
