'auto' was originally and continues to be a storage class.  It's the 
default storage class if another one isn't specified, so the following 
are equivalent:

auto int x = 5;
int x = 5;

Type inference happens via the omission of a type specifier, so auto is 
mostly used in this context, ie:

auto x = 5; // int variable with a storage class of 'auto'
const x = 5; // int variable with a storage class of 'const'
