Not quite, in C++11, auto is required for type inference, in D it
isn't.
Here's all the D spec says about type inference:
"If a declaration starts with a StorageClass and has a
NonVoidInitializer from which the type can be inferred, the type
on the declaration can be omitted."
No mention of auto. Any storage class will do.
