It's an interesting proposal. What I was thinking of eventually for
'auto' is to generalize that it means that the value cannot escape its
scope. An auto class member could then be destructed when the class was
destructed; an auto function parameter cannot escape the function call,
etc. But I haven't really thought about it very far.
