What's the C++ alternative to designated initializers?

Constructors, I would assume, but that's not a very attractive alternative in my opinion.

With C++11, you can use constexpr constructors to guarantee that they run at compile-time and end up as flat data in the .data/.rodata section instead of run-time static initialization. Or so I'm told by the C++11 people I asked about it.
