We took N3007 which does not have inference on return etc. https://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg14/www/docs/n3007.htm

Ah, great. I don't write very much C any more, but the auto described in N3007 (well, the skim of N3007 I just did) feels very much like what I'd want from this feature in C and perhaps more importantly, what I'd assume auto does if I see it in a snippet of somebody else's code I'm trying to understand.
Or how to make everyone life worse for the few weirdos that don't use a LSP/IDE. The type of auto on the return of a function can and is automatically shown e.g. https://resources.jetbrains.com/help/img/rider/2022.1/inlay_... With this kind of non-consideration of the developer comfort, it is clear C is an obscolete language.
