I would be against this change. There isn't much to say agaist it 
especially since => was fairly recently added (though has more 
benefit than I see here). The word auto is not hard to type for a 
Dvorak user, it kind of just roles off (auto). Declarations would 
then need to be identified by starting with auto or variable :=.

And on that similar point, Vim fails to go to declarations 
already. While I don't anticipate trying to fix this anytime 
soon, the new form would likely make this yet another thing to go 
wrong.

Somewhere you made a comment about

const auto ...;

No, it is

const int ...;

You can't include auto if you are using const/immutable... but 
you can include the actual type.
