Hello everyone,

as a long term user of spirit I finally wanted to take a lot at the X3 docs
to see what changes.
What I noticed quickly is the abundance of "auto" in the tutorials which
leads me to believe that the ease of use is probably in parts due to this.

Am I right with this? My problem is a deep distrust of auto and I have
banned it in all our code.
Looking at this for example:
http://ciere.com/cppnow15/x3_docs/spirit/tutorials/complex___our_first_complex_parser.html

Would this still look easy if instead of auto there would be actual types
or typedefs?

Or, to phrase my question more tongue in cheek: Would auto haters like the
step towards X3?

Thanks for opinions..

Stephan
