In the reference manual portion of "The C++ Programming Language":

The first sentence in section 8.4 ends in "yields an object of the indicated
type and storage class."  I assert that "and storage class" should be deleted
unless "auto char *foo;" really means that "foo" may only point to automatic
variables (in which case, I would like to know that fact).  Is this assertion
correct?
