In the grammar of the ISO C++ draft, most production rules for lists are
written using left recursion. An exception is the rule for a
mem-initializer-list, for which right recursion is used:

          mem-initializer-list: 
                  mem-initializer
                  mem-initializer , mem-initializer-list

Why is right recursion used in this case?
