It is tricky because people have different styles... I try to avoid auto
as much as possible because I find myself wasting time trying to find out
what the type actually is. Even in the simplest case - when you see auto,
you must always look right and try to find what the type is. However,
when you see <type> <name>, you know immediately what type the <name>
is... I believe it saves me (and whoever is reading my code) time in the
long run. I do not mind extra typing. :)
