New description:
A variety of code generating tools (PGE, PCT) like the ability
to be able to re-declare an existing symbol (but always with the
same type).
Personally, I'd like to see that redeclaring a symbol with the same
type is allowed in PIR , but redeclaring with a different type
throws an error.
