If IDEs cannot handle auto, it would be because they lack the proper
tooling to do the type inference necessary to implement auto. I wouldn't
say it's the fault of the auto feature. It's up to IDE writter to invest
in proper tooling.

If get_widget is overwritten in a way that results in an ambiguity, I
suppose that statement would be ill formed. So I fail to see the
issue you are trying to raise.
