 5.2 Miscellaneous Types
 =======================
 
 `b TYPE-INFORMATION ; BYTES'
      Pascal space type.  This is documented by IBM; what does it mean?
 
      This use of the `b' type descriptor can be distinguished from its
      use for builtin integral types ( Builtin Type Descriptors)
      because the character following the type descriptor is always a
      digit, `(', or `-'.
 
 `B TYPE-INFORMATION'
      A volatile-qualified version of TYPE-INFORMATION.  This is a Sun
      extension.  References and stores to a variable with a
      volatile-qualified type must not be optimized or cached; they must
      occur as the user specifies them.
 
 `d TYPE-INFORMATION'
      File of type TYPE-INFORMATION.  As far as I know this is only used
      by Pascal.
 
 `k TYPE-INFORMATION'
      A const-qualified version of TYPE-INFORMATION.  This is a Sun
      extension.  A variable with a const-qualified type cannot be
      modified.
 
 `M TYPE-INFORMATION ; LENGTH'
      Multiple instance type.  The type seems to composed of LENGTH
      repetitions of TYPE-INFORMATION, for example `character*3' is
      represented by `M-2;3', where `-2' is a reference to a character
      type ( Negative Type Numbers).  I'm not sure how this
      differs from an array.  This appears to be a Fortran feature.
      LENGTH is a bound, like those in range types; see 
      Subranges.
 
 `S TYPE-INFORMATION'
      Pascal set type.  TYPE-INFORMATION must be a small type such as an
      enumeration or a subrange, and the type is a bitmask whose length
      is specified by the number of elements in TYPE-INFORMATION.
 
      In CHILL, if it is a bitstring instead of a set, also use the `S'
      type attribute ( String Field).
 
 `* TYPE-INFORMATION'
      Pointer to TYPE-INFORMATION.
