Maybe we're having a terminology discrepancy here.

For me an initialized variable is a *variable*, i.e. intended to *vary* 
over execution time, and which is initialized, i.e. set to a known 
initial value; whereas a const has a value which does not vary over 
execution time, and thus a const is not a variable.

In that sense, and as init_sequence does not, and should not, vary over 
execution time, it is not a variable.
