These shortcomings of auto are recognized in the community, but yes, 
they're real and dangerous. Clazy [1] already has a warning for the 
danger of auto with QStringBuilder, I guess it can be extended to other 
cases.

N4035 [2] proposes general purpose workarounds ("operator auto", 
specializations to std::decay, etc.) to address these issues.
