ANSI says in one place that type declarations can be abbreviated even
when the type name is not a symbol, e.g.
(DECLAIM ((VECTOR T) *FOOVECTOR*))
SBCL doesn't support this. But ANSI says in another place that this
isn't allowed. So it's not clear this is a bug after all. (See the
e-mail on cmucl-help@cons.org on 2001-01-16 and 2001-01-17 from WHN
and Pierre Mai.)
(Actually this has changed changed since, and types as above are
now supported. This may be a bug.) |

Historically SBCL did not support this, and currently it does. We need
to make a reasoned decision either way, and document this.
