Was wondering if this feature could be implemented, right now auto needs to be written like this:

auto pValue = someFunctionReturnsRef(); // forgot '&', still valid // makes a copy when we didn't want one

The feature would make the code look like this:

auto* pValue = someFunctionReturnsRef(); // error expecting pointer

We don't accidentally make a copy when we wanted a pointer. C++ has a similar semantic for it's auto.
