initializer_list advantages c++11

Question

Hi All

I am pretty much aware about class constructor using member initialisation... This is available before c++11 I guess...

However, consider below example :

Is this initializer_list new in c++11 ? Why would anyone need this ? Any specific reason to introduce this?

I tried to search for some article , but it talks about only class member initialisation...

Any thoughts / pointer would be helpful. Thanks a lot
