I think it started quite hot!  The subject, "Overuse of 'auto'", hints
at polemic.  Maybe you intended to explain what you consider to be
"overuse", but I couldn't find that in the OP.  Without some attempt to
differentiate between reasonable use and excessive use, the post sets up
conflict form the very start: "Ever used auto?  I bet you were wrong to
do so!" it seems to say.  (Note "seems" -- I know that's not what you
said, but it's how it reads without more detail than you gave).

You then give an example that certainly got my back up:

  auto foobar = someFunction(a, b);

This is obviously impenetrable, but I'd say that's because of every
single word /other/ than the auto -- it's possible that the auto is the
/only/ sensible part of such a line!  If it were

  auto parser = parse::sequence(parse_function_expression, parse_arguments);

then the auto is (to my mind) a justifiable choice.  Equally (and I am
trying to fair here) there are choices for foobar, someFunction, a and b
for which the auto does indeed hide information that would otherwise
help the reader.

(Note that I am speculating on the existence of a combinator parsing
library in C++.  The fact that the reader may no know how this sort of
thing works can't be used to argue that the code is unreadable.  It's
simply not possible to write code that can be understood by people who
don't know the techniques being used.  Comments will help, but only up
to a point.)

That stance was clear from the start, but that's not going to promote
discussion.  It became clear, quite quickly, that some of what you were
saying was, at least mildly, controversial.  At that point, a change in
tone to "Oh, that surprises me -- can you explain why you think knowing
the type is sometimes unhelpful?" would have led, I feel, to a more
productive debate.

There you go again!  Avoiding excessive use of anything is obviously
wrong so the real question -- the only interesting question -- is what,
if any, uses would not count as excessive, and what, if any, uses might
actually help?

I hope I have given you some ideas about that.
