Can I have
auto iterator i = ...;
too, assuming iterator denotes a common iterator type?
This will allow me to know what type i is without having
to do the inference myself!
Ada.Containers' Cursor doesn't have a centrally
declared interface, just like iterator; some have filed
complaints about this. Why is it that, seemingly, everybody
in the compiler makers guild is so fond of omissions boiling
down to obfuscation or bragging about inferential skills?
Programming is neither selling small print nor omissions.
Or, wait! Is it?
