Do you prefer
  x.push_back("A");
  x.push_back("B");
  x.push_back("C");
over
   { "A", "B", "C" ... }
?

I do not.
Yes I agree it would be clearer. But it looks horrible to me (and considerung the
compiled code size, I would guess that the first variant is much bigger (inlining), but I
don't have numbers)
