While the grammatical term initializer has a definition, initializer as used throughout the standard is not defined anywhere, and since it is used as if it is a langauge construct, a definition should be specified, just like it is in the C11 standard. Such a definition should include grammatical initializers, as well as initializer-clauses (for function calls as the arguments are initializers, but not initializers)

See also #2847.

Editorial teleconference: Defining a term "initializer" is problematic, because the very definition could be confused with the grammarterm. But we do something similar for "expression". This would be helped if grammar would use a different font; see #323. Maybe turn uses of grammarterms into links to their definition (will make them blue).
In any case, defer until we have distinct presentation for grammarterms vs. defined terms.

Editorial meeting: We want /initializer/ plus function arguments plus return/throw operands and other operands (e.g. co_await) and to overloaded operators. -> function arguments after rewriting. Sometime determine the kind of initialization from /initializer/, except that you don't in the other cases. Maybe embody that in the transition from /initializer/ to initializer.
