/**
* Serves as the pseudo keyword {@code auto}, which declares a field, local, or method as having its type inferred from
* its value/definition.
*
* A field or local variable declared as {@code auto} infers its type from the initializer. The behavior is similar to
* Java's 'var'.
*
* A method with return type {@code auto} infers its return type from the return statements in its definition. As a
* consequence, fields and methods declared in the inferred type are type-safely accessible to call-sites.
