auto storage class - infer or RAII?

I have to agree, even though I was among the first to shout out against
"auto". I have changed my mind since.

Using a storage class for type inference is an easy and coherent method
and since C++ will use "auto" for type inference it isn't such a bad
choice after all. Perhaps I got used to it after all.

I still think though that it should only mean that. My favourite choice
for stack variables would be "local". It's short and completely obvious
though I could live with "scope" if you want to avoid a new keyword at
all costs.

Cheers,
