Makes sense because e.g. the following works:
struct S {
auto i = 42;
}
I bet the problem with your proposal is "auto" in that position
is a part of the two-word "auto ref" parameters. I don't know
how hard or impossible it would be to allow just "auto" there.
In any case, although it would be nice for completeness, the
use case is so rare that I wouldn't mind repeating the type
twice in that usage. But I agree with you...

Actually, foo is inside a class. So using T is very easy.
Moreover,it's possible to do it with ```alias S = Section;```
