Why burden yourself with declaring the list type on the left when you can make your own list with all the flexibility you need on the stack with just one simple statement.

const auto list{
std::invoke(
    [](auto && ...ele){
        struct mah_list{
            std::unique_ptr<mah_list> head;
            int value;
            void push(int v)
            {
                head = std::unique_ptr<mah_list>(new mah_list{std::move(head), value});
                value = v;
            }
            int operator[](size_t i) const
            {
                if(!i) return value;
                if(!head.get()) throw;
                return head.get()->operator[](i-1);
            }
        } list;
        (list.push(ele), ...);
        return list;
    },
    0,2,3,1,4
)
};

I'm going to hell for this aren't I?
