RE: Constant initialization question

Thanks.  I found what I needed at the very
beginning of chapter 4:

"Some statement constructs require an expression to be a constant expression. The
operands of a constant expression consists of constant numbers and parameter names,
but they can use any of the operators defined in Table 4-1, Table 4-17, and Table 4-18."

It is clear from the LRM, that is, it's explained in the 
formal syntax.  In a quick glance, I didn't see anything
in section 4 about constant_expression versus expression,
so I don't think that's the right place for it.
