Why I don't spend time with Modern C++ anymore

Swift solves the "auto" issue pretty nicely - with the help of the IDE:

let x = someFunction()

Alt-click on x and it shows the type.

Otherwise, as you say, the code becomes very confusing and I abstain from auto except in cases where the type is clearly obvious.

Visual Studio shows the type of auto on hover.

… also one of the forthcoming Clang projects is a static-analysis tool (á la `clang-format`) for replacing any `auto` decls with the actual typename, so you can write lazy code without appearing unscrupulous at code reviews
