m">David Abrahams</a> proposed 
        in comp.std.c++ to reuse the <tt>auto</tt> keyword for type deduced variables. 
        This has been extensibly discussed in <a href="http://www.boost.org">boost.org</a>. Example: 
        <br>
        <br>
        <span class=keyword><code>auto </code></span><code><span class=identifier>r 
        </span><span class=special>= </span><span class=identifier>i </span><span class=special>| 
        </span><span class=identifier>j </span><span class=special>&gt;&gt; </sp
