question on std :: initializer_list

[Graziano Servizi]

Hi, everybody.

I would ask how to specialize the template class in subject.
I tried this

namespace std {

template <> class initializer_list<SomeTypeOfMine>
   {
    public:
    initializer_list<SomeTypeOfMine> (initializer_list<const char *> il)
       {
        // trying to provide a constructor from an initializer_list
        // made of literal quoted strings
        // here follows a "tentative" to declare an iterator

        const SomeTypeOfMine * ii = begin(???????);

        //  what there?
        }
    };

}


My 4.8.2 compiler claims either that begin is NOT a member of 
initializer_list<SomeTypeOfMine> (when I leave the parameter list empty) 
or that there is a failure in template type deduction (when I put
a single parameter in place of the question marks). I checked "this" as 
well as "*this" and none works... what else?

Am I completely out of way?

Thanks in advance for your attention.
