Rationale (May, 2008):
Issue 632 refers to exactly the same question and has a more detailed discussion of the considerations involved.

It is not clear whether the following declaration is well-formed:
struct S { int i; } s = { { 1 } };
According to 9.5.2 [dcl.init.aggr]
paragraph 2, a brace-enclosed initializer is permitted for a
subaggregate of an aggregate; however, i is a scalar, not an
aggregate. 9.5 [dcl.init] paragraph 13
says that a standalone declaration like
int i = { 1 };
is permitted, but it is not clear whether this says anything about the
form of initializers for scalar members of aggregates.
This is (more) clearly permitted by the C89 Standard.
