Please keep in mind that explicit mentioning of the actual variable types
in documentation / examples actually helped me with my learning process.
Substituting the types with auto may diminish the educational value of
the documentation.
For example,
Gtk::Widget* w = somefunc();
is somewhat self-documenting in a way that we know that somefunc() returns
Gtk::Widget* (or similar).
You can, of course, always mention there that people with C++0x compilers
can use auto instead of the actual type.

Thanks,
Alexander
