Hi,
I'm going a little bit off-topic here, but another possible idealistic
interpretations could be as following:
As a const reference extends the lifetime of an object returned by value,
I'd like to (once again ideally) interpret
*const auto&* as "give me the value as effective as possible", and *const
auto *as "I require the value to be a copy".

That trail of thought is what got me here in the beginning, and
unfortunately reality does not match :/
