the old usage of 'auto' is no longer
supported in n2723.pdf, the latest working draft I've picked up of the
next version of the C standard.

You had me confused there. I'm sure you meant to say n2723 is a draft of
the next version of the C++ standard.

You are correct.

There is an ugly solution that's not very flexible, just mentioning it for
completeness:

template <typename T, typename U, typename what_type> void func_ (
const T&t,
const U&u,
what_type temp
){
...
}

template <typename T, typename U> void func (
const T&t,
const U&u,
){
func_( t, u, t*u );
}

Yes - "not very flexible" indeed.
