Gaby,

I noticed the following commit item in passing:

> <li>Declared variable with no specified values are now handled

Could you explain a little about how this works. Specifically: What is
meant by "handled as if symbolic value with a specified type"? Have
you implemented something similar to the ideas in the paper that you
presented at PLMMS 2008 last year? Does OpenAxiom behavior now differ
from that shown below?

   x is declared as being in Integer but has not been given a value.
