Is it correct that this _single_ keyword is used to indicate _two_ quite different things:
No, it only actually does #2 in your thing. The type is optional meaning *any* storage class will work for type inference. `auto` is not special in variable declarations. (it can be special in other contexts though).
auto A = 5; static A = 5; const A = 5; all the same.
