Probably 99% of poorly written error messages can be improved if only one stops
to think about it.

How about "auto cannot be applied to classes" or "auto can only be applied to
variable declarations"?  We could use the same format for all illegal uses of
attributes.

Of course, the relevance of this to auto'll change when/if the grammar change
proposed in comment 9 is implemented....
