It's been suggested before (as well as more powerful
generalization for slices and associative arrays), but Andrei
vetoed it so it probably won't be added even if somebody
created a formal proposal for it.
I'm curious, what exactly was proposed? Because I have a hard
time understanding what's intended from the OP's description.

Partial type inference. `auto*` declares a point to a type that
is inferred from inspecting the RHS's type. The previous proposal
was for doing `auto[] a = [0, 1, 2]` (a's type is inferred as
int[]).
