This term is fairly widely used, and is shorter than the alternative; maybe we should just define it? [basic.stc.auto]p1:

@zygoloid I feel that it's not used enough to warrant it. We already have a bunch of similar definitions like "local variable" and "local entity". |

I'd like to point out that @zygoloid's suggested change equates variables with objects, which we want to move away from. (There is a separate automatic object for each invocation of a function containing a non-static, non-thread-local, non-extern variable declaration.) |

This makes it sound like t is a name for the storage duration, not for the object.

@zygoloid Changing it to "the object t with automatic storage duration" would resolve this

"Automatic object" is not a term defined by the standard. Replacing all mentions of it with "object with automatic storage duration" resolves the issue.
