Yes, of course it does.  You don't think the advantages of auto are
lost on me, do you?  

Inside my library's implementation I'm willing to buy lack of
registration with a slightly uglier syntax, because asking people to
register types is completely untenable for me.

It's utterly irrelevant to me, since there's no way I'm going to ask
users to register their types just so *I* can use typeof.
