Re:Don’t use C++ auto? Restricting auto is not the best deci... by pjmlp on Thursday November 09, 2017 @12:48PM (#15664312)
Type inference is orthogonal to whatever keyword is used.

Bjarne used another keyword in C with Classes, removed it due to backslash, and the commite decided to re-purpose auto for the same purpose in C++11.

No big deal, the meaning of static is also context dependent, and no one is fighting against it like it happens with the new meaning for auto.
