Can i instantiate an array from an initializer_list?

So i can do this:

#include <iostream>
#include <vector>
main(){   
    auto init = {1,2,3};
    std::vector<int> v(init);
}

and i can do this:

#include <iostream>
#include <vector>
main(){   
    int i[3] = {1,2,3};
}

Why can i not do this:

#include <iostream>
#include <vector>
main(){   
    auto init = {1,2,3};
    int i[3] = init;
}

?

the compiler tells me this:

main.cpp: In function 'int main()':
main.cpp:10:16: error: array must be initialized with a brace-enclosed 
initializer
     int i[3] = init;
                ^~~~

exit status 1

it does not make a difference if i create init with std::initializer_list<int> instead of auto.

You can mess around with it here.
