"If the initializer-list begins with a left brace,"
which it does
"then the succeeding comma-separated list of initializer-clauses initializes
the members of a subaggregate;"
I read that to mean that { "smile", 1 } initializes the pair[1]
"it is erroneous for there to be more initializer-clauses than members."
There is only one member of pair[1] but two initializer-clauses.
So I think the error is required, but Daniel is usually right about such things
so I'm not certain :)
