I didn't realise it was claimed to work in C++, but yes, I guess the docs are
wrong.  C++ provides several portable forms of initialization, there's really
no need to support another non-standard one.

These will all work for aggregate types (including "C structs")

foo f{};
foo f = {};
foo f = foo{};
foo f = foo();

I'll propose a patch to fix the docs.
