I don't like auto. (the auto-typing I mean)

[Sebastián E. Peyrott]

FWIW, I think Sean made a valid point. It should be possible to infer the type
of variable in its declaration and at the same time declare it as RAII object.
IMO, the worst thing about this are the implications behind the solution. How
much code would brake if the keyword were to be changed for one or both cases?
If there's going to be a change, now may be the best time to do it...
