Re: type specifiers for local variables

Please do not do this.  I could be wrong but CL type declaration
syntax always struck me as a compromise to be backward compatibile
with existing MacLisp code.  Putting the declaration with the variable
makes it easier (to me at least) to manipulate the code.
