yep, because auto drops references.
But users might reasonably expect this: int i = 0; for( i : vect ) { } // maybe use i here to use the pre-declared i as a loop variable instead of introducing a new variable. That's an important use case, and some allowance should be made for it in the chosen syntax. -- Eric Niebler Boost Consulting www.boost-consulting.com
