+<code>initialized_value</code> provides a convenient way to get
+an initialized value: its conversion operator provides an appropriate
+<em>value-initialized</em> object for any CopyConstructible type.
+
+Suppose you need to have an initialized variable of type <code>T</code>.
+You could do it as follows:
+<pre>
+  T var = T();
+</pre>
+But as mentioned before, this form suffers from various compiler issues.
+The template <code>value_initialized</code> offers a workaround:
+<pre>
+  T var = get( value_initialized&lt;T&gt;() );
+</pre>
+Unfortunately both forms repeat the type name, which
+is rather short now (<code>T</code>), but could of course be 
+more like <code>Namespace::Template&lt;Arg&gt;::Type</code>.
+Instead, one could use <code>initialized_value</code> as follows:
+<pre>
+  T var = initialized_value ;
+</pre>
