That doesn't really explain what it is, just how to use it.

I was under the impression auto was the same as the one in C because I
thought I read it somewhere (along with, "you can specify either a
storage class or a type and the other will be infered, but one of them
must be specifided"). But since I can't find it I must have made it up
in a dream about D.
