--- Comment #1 from Seb <greensunny12 at gmail.com> ---
Advantage of `auto`:
- we can change the API
- less visual clutter (that's subjective though)

See the discussion at https://github.com/dlang/phobos/pull/5963
We have to be careful here, this a bikesheeding topic and a lot time can be
wasted with discussing the pros and cons.

A good improvement, however, could be to improve Ddoc or documentation, s.t. it
helps the reader more what `auto` could be mean and whats capabilities one can
expect from it. Please feel free to open a respective issue with concrete for
dlang.org ;-)
