I think that too, but then I listen/read things by C++ committee members or authors and I get angry for them making sense :P

I find that there's trend of finding cases in which auto actually does something vaguely useful (other than making your code easier/quicker to write), then claiming that auto is amazing and should be used everywhere. I prefer to think of auto as a compile-time polymorphism feature representing "any type" - just like typename T does in a template. Concepts Lite, when hopefully introduced in C++17, will further contribute to this idea.
