How would you declare an auto class without the auto keyword?

Moreover, while

     auto Qwert yuiop = new Qwert;

appears to be syntactic sugar for

     Qwert yuiop = new Qwert;
     on_scope_exit delete yuiop;

the former does still (I assume) have the advantage of stopping you from 
inadvertently reassigning to yuiop.
