/** The type used in initializer lists.

    This type is used in initializer lists for
    lazy construction of and assignment to the
    container types @ref value, @ref array,
    and @ref object. The two types of initializer
    lists used are:

    @li `std::initializer_list< value_ref >` for
    constructing or assigning a @ref value or
    @ref array, and

    @li `std::initializer_list< std::pair< string_view, value_ref > >`
    for constructing or assigning an @ref object.

    A `value_ref` uses reference semantics. Creation
    of the actual container from the initializer
    list is lazily deferred until the list is used.
    This means that the @ref memory_resource used to
    construct a container can be specified after the
    point where the initializer list is specified.

    @par Example

    This example demonstrates how a user-defined type
    containing a JSON value can be constructed from
    an initializer list:

    @code

    class my_type
    {
        value jv_;

    public:
        my_type( std::initializer_list< value_ref > init )
            : jv_(init)
        {
        }
    };

    @endcode

    @note Never declare a variable of type
    `std::initializer_list` except in function
    parameter lists, otherwise the behavior may
    be undefined.

        @ref value,
        @ref array,
        @ref object
