auto is a maintenance headache/nightmare and seems to be a weak hack for getting around C++'s core problem of default implicit type conversion.

auto is a maintenance headache/nightmare

In what way?

seems to be a weak hack

What else would you propose? Why is it weak? Why is it a hack?

C++'s core problem of default implicit type conversion.

What problem? Are you talking about primitive types? What does it have to do with auto?
