Right. The objects would only be head de-constified if Michael Fortin's
patch to allow such things got in. A simple way of explaining this
would be "auto removes top level const from the type T if T implicitly
converts to the type that would result".
Auto declares a variable initialized with a copy of the rhs expression.
