I came across an interesting syntax in Stroustrup's new book (Design and Evol...):

class A
{
    int v;
public:
    A(int vv) : v(vv) {}
    void setV(int vv) : v(vv) {}
}                          ^
                           |
This is the interesting part.

Does the current standard proposal standardize the initialization syntax?  Is
this a more efficient place to do this than within the function, as it is in
the ctor?  Also, does this confuse the initialization versus assignment
discussion?  Which one is this -- it's fairly obvious assignment to me?

Thanks,
Jim
