Gosh no. I'm more stunned that only one person got it. That was an 
incredibly well written post. Everyone should read it. Too many QML 
users I guess.

auto will be removed though. A bad idea that cannot be fixed. So were 
trigraphs and digraphs.

There is a dramatic falsehood behind the philosophy of always using the 
latest and "coolest" language "features" because they get removed. How 
many are compiling code forcing c++11 with deprecation warnings turned 
off because they have a big codebase using std:auto_ptr.

The same will happen to auto. A bad idea that can't be fixed.
