That’s what you guys said about my awesome “stack alias” idea. :) Seriously
though I don’t for the life of me understand why programmers can’t be trusted
to not do this. You can pass dangling pointers since forever but no one is
asking pointers to be removed because they’re too dangerous.
Auto is a good idea. Allocating the “auto” classes the memory backend on the
stack (my “stack alias” idea) is even better because you don’t need the memory
manager too be involved.
