IMHO, typeof() is really necessary, but auto is just eye-candy. I cannot
see something that an 'auto'-type can do you couldn't do with typeof()
and the current language. Instead, it weakens the strong-type-checking
for which I like C++. (I know my english is horrible, but I hope you get
what I mean :). If I missed something about 'auto', please let me know.

-------------------------------------------------------------
BTW, C++ strong-type-checking is not weakened in any way by the
proposal.
