Can you explain what is the reason to not declare the type inside the
type system ?
Thanks,

Jörn, I'm not sure I understand what you mean. The types need to be
declared in the the type system. Adam thinks that declaring variables
in the descriptor is not worth the effort, and I don't know that I
disagree with him. Declaring the variables in the descriptor would have
the one benefit that we could check for multiple declarations at
initialization/packaging time. On the other hand, my current proposal
is more dynamic as you can check if a variable has been declared, and if
not, declare it yourself.
Did that answer your question?
