You already know the type if you're calling .begin() or .end() on it. You don't care about the type of the iterator because you know it can iterate over the collection you're working with.
That's what auto fixes. It avoids coupling the concept of iterating from the specific type of the iterator which isn't important.
Similarly auto helps you achieve DRY. 'auto myFoo = std::make_unique<Foo>();'. The type wasn't removed, it just wasn't repeated twice.
But at this point auto, or things like auto, exist in nearly every major language. So you'll need to teach best practices for working with it at some point. That's a general thing that's everywhere.
