           Summary: Demos should not use auto
           Product: D
           Version: D2
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: P1
         Component: dlang.org

The use of auto in the runnable demos is pervasive across the language documentation however this is extremely unhelpful when trying to adapt these demos into useful programs as I cannot infer the type of the variable myself. There are situations where one may wish to initialise a variable differently based on a condition and so I will need to forward declare the variable however I cannot do this because I do not know the type I should be using to declare because it has been obscured by the use of auto in the demo.
