One of those side effects would be function calls binding silently to 
another overload:

void foo(bool){/* ... */}
void foo(int) {/* ... */}

   auto a = 0;  // If the type were deduced by the value,
   foo(a);      // then this would be a call to foo(bool)...
                // until someone changed the value to 2. :)
