It must have changed in the last couple of years. I see that the
documentation is now different:
http://dlang.org/attribute.html#auto
It now says "The auto attribute is used when there are no other
attributes and type inference is desired."
It used to be not the case. The historical evidence is still there in
compiler error messages:
auto auto a = 1;
Error: redundant storage class 'auto'
