First, C++ doesn't require using separate lines. It only requires it
if you want to initialize them to the same value. And even then, it
doesn't require separate lines:
int first = 5, second = 5, third = 5;
There is repetition, but your issue only applies when initializing
them all to the same value. Is that case *really* common enough to be
worth a language change?
That's what your proposal needs to convince people of.
