It seems likely that the answer to question 1 is yes.
The answer to question 2 is, when the next C++ standard is released, 
which is still some years away.
If all goes well it may be in the working draft in a year or so, but 
there are no guarantees.

Here's the latest proposal, though there are changes to the 
specifications after this,
and not all 'auto' features discussed are under consideration anymore.
Also there are still some issues to be solved in the decltype 
specification too.
So this just as a caveat, don't start to write your programs against 
this spec quite yet :)
