[dcl.init]/17 in N3936 says the following:

If the initializer is a (non-parenthesized) braced-init-list, the
object or reference is list-initialized (8.5.4).

According to the grammar in [dcl.init]/1, that should certainly cover this
case:

T f{17};

I infer that this is also supposed to cover the generally equivalent case:

T f = {17};

However, according to the grammar the initializer in this case is not a
braced-init-list but rather an equals sign followed by a braced-init-list
(there is no category for this that excludes an assignment-expression).

Am I correct in thinking that the latter syntax is supposed to be covered by
the quoted clause? If so, perhaps the wording should be made more precise.
