I agree that the easier it is to understand and reason about code the better. That's why I'm opposed to most uses of auto. It makes code harder to understand. It might not make code harder to understand if it was used with tools that doesn't exist. But those tools don't exist. I'm constantly re-evaluating my opinions and for auto I keep reaching the same conclusion. I pray that someday new tools are released that make my work life better. When they are some of my re-evaluations, related to auto or otherwise, will certainly change. But sadly that day is not today.
