 sure that resolved initializers for all declarations are being

+
+No, unfortunately. Initialization isn't being rewritten as assignment,
+so you shouldn't allow the particular selection of assignment
+operators that happen to be in scope (and which may include
+user-defined operators) to guide the type resolution.
+
+I don't think there is any way to rewrite an initializer as a single
+expression and have the resolver just do the right thing. I see the
+algorithm as:
+
+For each alternative interpretation of the designator:
+  Construct an expression that casts the initializer to the type of
+    the designator
+  Construct an AlternativeFinder and use it to find the lowest cost
+    interpretation of the expression
+  Add this interpretation to a list of possibilities
+Go through the list of possibilities and pick the lowest cost
+
+As with many things in the resolver, it's conceptually simple but the
+implementation may be a bit of a pain. It fits in with functions like
+findSingleExpression, findIntegralExpression in Resolver.cc, although
+it will be significantly more complicated than any of the existing
+ones.
