Summary:
This is a side-effect brought in by p0620r0, which allows other placeholder types (derived from `auto` and `decltype(auto)`) to be usable in a `new` expression with a single-clause //braced-init-list// as its initializer (8.3.4 [expr.new]/2). N3922 defined its semantics.

been an oversight, as it definitely works. Every test which changed had
the const written on the LHS of the auto already.
Notably, this also makes things like cpp11-migrate's formation of 'const
auto &' variables much more familiar.
Yes, many people feel that 'const' and other qualifiers belong on the
RHS of the type. I'm not going to argue about that because Clang already
*overwhelming* places the qualifiers on the LHS when it can and on the
RHS when it must. We shouldn't diverge for auto. We should add a tool to
clang-tidy that fixes this in either direction, and then wire up
clang-tidy to tools like cpp11-migrate to fix their placement after
transforms.
