No ;)

'auto' is the default (hidden) storage class for local variables in a 
function.  So the following declarations are equivalent:

int x;
auto int x;

'auto' is in the same family as 'static', 'const', and 'scope'.  'auto' does 
not do type inference.  Type inference is triggered when there is a storage 
class, but no type.  So these all trigger type inference:

auto x = 5;
static y = 10;
const z = 15;
scope f = new Foo();

'auto' just happens to be the most common of the bunch, and so you see it a 
lot more.  But it doesn't mean "infer the type."

Nope.
