[Qgis-psc] Curly braces initilization

[Alessandro Pasotti]

Hi Denis,

thank you for raising this topic, I just wanted to add another piece of
information:
https://isocpp.github.io/CppCoreGuidelines/CppCoreGuidelines#es23-prefer-the--initializer-syntax

and if you have a spare night here is some serious criticism:

Another thing to consider is that we already have so many written (and
probably more unwritten) rules about coding style that I am afraid to add
another one if there isn't a very good reason, we don't want to scare new
potential developers.
