I think, all things considered, the way it works is probably the best way, since you might want to use "auto" to actually make a copy. It's just very surprising

I think, all things considered, the way it works is probably the best way, since you might want to use "auto" to actually make a copy. It's just very surprising, because when I have explicit types I'm used to looking for that sort of error, but with an auto I wasn't (at the time) used to looking for that.
