I think auto just means inferred type.

That seems to be the case then... So Ali Çehreli was right and I was
wrong.

Oh no... I had already adopted your thinking. :)

I still like my logic better, I will keep thinking that auto is a real
storage class and ignore this whole thread =P

The points that made my think my way are:

- auto is a whitespace word in C and C++; so there was no need for a language like D2, which does not have backward compatibility concerns, to keep it

- auto has a new meaning in C++0x: "infer the type from the initializer". As D2's and C++0x' developments overlapped in time; it was easy to assume that this feature was the same and was shared between these related languages

I was happy about my logic until this thread. :)
