typical review from guy who dislikes auto:

auto& thing = Blah::GetInstance().GetThing();
thing.Wank();

"Argh don't use auto we dont know what the type of thing is!!!"

Blah::GetInstance().GetThing().Wank();

"Ok "

but what sort of wank is it

and what if you were expecting a wank but we�re given a tug :ohdear:
