Test case.

This program is compiled correctly:

#include <initializer_list>

template <typename T>
void function(std::initializer_list<T>) {
}

int main() {
    function({"foo", "bar"});
}

This program fails to compile:

#include <initializer_list>

template <typename... T>
void function(std::initializer_list<T>...) {
}

int main() {
    function({"foo", "bar"});
}

instead reporting a compile error:

main.cpp:8:5: error: no matching function for call to 'function'
    function({"foo", "bar"});
    ^~~~~~~~
main.cpp:4:6: note: candidate function [with T = <char const[4]>] not viable:
no known conversion from 'const char [4]' to 'char const[4]' for 1st argument
void function(std::initializer_list<T>...) {
     ^
1 error generated.

It appears that the compiler is failing to perform the array-to-pointer
conversion step of the deduction per [temp.deduct.call]/2, but only when the
type being deduced is part of a parameter pack.</pre>
