Can't it just be: `type x { 0 }, y { 0 },....;` which already satisfies
uniform initialization?

> *This code declares and initializes four integer variables x, y, z, and p
> to the value 0.3. Advantages - Improved code readability: The syntax is
> more concise and easier to maintain, especially for initializing multiple
> variables with the same value.- Reduced boilerplate: Eliminates the need
> for separate lines for each variable declaration and initialization.-
> Potential for pattern matching: This syntax might open doors for future
> language features like pattern matching in the future.4. Disadvantages -
> Potential for parser ambiguity: Careful consideration is needed to avoid
> ambiguity with existing syntax.- Backward compatibility: This feature could
> introduce minor compatibility issues for existing code.- Limited
> applicability: This approach is primarily useful for simple initialization
> of variables with the same type.5. Design Considerations - Should the
> syntax be limited to a single initializer (e.g., only constants) or allow
> for expressions?- How can we ensure clarity and avoid conflicts with
> existing destructuring syntax?- Can this syntax be extended to handle
> different data types with specific limitations?6. Prior ArtSimilar syntax
> exists in other programming languages like Python and JavaScript. In C++,
> structured bindings with tuples offer a partial solution but require more
> complex code.7. Future Directions - I encourage discussion and feedback
> from the C++ community via the std-proposals mailing list.- Based on
> community input, we plan to refine the proposal to address potential
> issues.- I will present the final proposal to the C++ standards committee
> for consideration.8. ConclusionThis proposal introduces a new syntax for
> initializing multiple variables in C++. I believe this feature would
> enhance code readability and conciseness while maintaining the core
> strengths of the language. I look forward to engaging with the community
> and working towards potential implementation.*
