Oh no... I had already adopted your thinking. :)

The points that made my think my way are:

- auto is a whitespace word in C and C++; so there was no need for a 
language like D2, which does not have backward compatibility concerns, 
to keep it

- auto has a new meaning in C++0x: "infer the type from the 
initializer". As D2's and C++0x' developments overlapped in time; it was 
easy to assume that this feature was the same and was shared between 
these related languages

I was happy about my logic until this thread. :)
