I'm inclined to agree with DLW that asking the type of a variable is a bad 
idea. I cannot think of any reasonable example of a place where VAR-TYPE
could be used in the way you think you are advocating. Can you please make
up and offer for inspection a small piece of code which you think uses
the proposed VAR-TYPE primitive in a way you expect it might typically be 
used? Concrete examples would help a lot. -kmp
