I'll blame this on my poor knowledge of C++, at this time typeof 
in C++ does not appear to compile, in the way I'm trying to use 
it. I thought using typeof in C++ would result in the same answer 
as the deduction auto provides.

 From that point of view, there is no need for decltype, because 
typeof already gives you the actual type in D (which will be the 
same as the type at declaration).
