Not quite, in C++11, auto is required for type inference, in D it 
isn't.

Here's all the D spec says about type inference:

"If a declaration starts with a StorageClass and has a 
NonVoidInitializer from which the type can be inferred, the type 
on the declaration can be omitted."

No mention of auto. Any storage class will do.
