But there's something wrong - auto is still given on attribute.html, but the
way it's used there it doesn't seem to be an attribute.
'auto' was originally and continues to be a storage class. It's the
default storage class if another one isn't specified, so the following
are equivalent:
auto int x = 5;
int x = 5;
Type inference happens via the omission of a type specifier, so auto is
mostly used in this context, ie:
auto x = 5; // int variable with a storage class of 'auto'
const x = 5; // int variable with a storage class of 'const'
