Will best practice for the auto keyword change when c++ concepts finally arrive? Of the 3 options below, the third seems best to me: SomeReallyLongTypeName*

Will best practice for the auto keyword change when c++ concepts finally arrive? Of the 3 options below, the third seems best to me: SomeReallyLongTypeName* x = foo(); // old-school auto x = foo(); // c++11 pointer x = foo(); // c++17 concepts

you can already do: auto *x = foo(); Which is actually more readable than "pointer".

  Perhaps a better example be something like: smart_ptr<auto> x = foo();
