Good question. The layout of std::initializer_list is mandated by the compiler 
ABI. But the actual type name does not necessarily have to be...

Checking libc++ sources...

====8<-----
namespace std  // purposefully not versioned
{

#ifndef _LIBCPP_HAS_NO_GENERALIZED_INITIALIZERS

template<class _Ep>
class _LIBCPP_TYPE_VIS_ONLY initializer_list
====8<-----

There you go, the name is the same too (St16initializer_list). Very likely, 
this is required by the compilers themselves.
