RE: [boost] Most needed/desired features in C++

What about allowing to qualify "auto" further, such as:

  for( const auto it = v.begin(); it != v.end(); ++it )

If we assume that "auto" corresponds to "typeof( <rhs> )", then the above should fit nicely.

Wouldn't the "auto" proposal (almost) do that?

  for( auto it = v.begin(); it != v.end(); ++it )

In this case it becomes an iterator, not a const_iterator, though. Is that a
big deal, or is "auto" alone sufficient to cover most of the desired
functionality?
