You're right, but that's unavoidable. Someone waking up from 15 years ago, 
having only programmed in assembler, would have a hard time understanding "int" 
is not for "interrupt". I know that's extreme, but it's just to make my point. I 
think we all agree "auto" shouldn't be used for both cases. Walter just should 
pick one and use another syntax for the other. All we can do regarding that is 
give our input. In my case, I don't think I've ever had a 
variable/function/class/module named "auto", but I've had many variables "var".

I think I've only stated the obvious, but I just felt like I had to say it.
