	   CLtL, p162 speaks of the VALUES declaration; it says nothing at all
	   like  that.
	That's a type-specifier, not a declaration.

    Extended the way implied by barmar, it's also a declaration; see CLtL p158. 

    Just for the record, when one can do (DECLARE (<foo> X Y Z)), one usually 
    speaks of this as the <foo> declaration, even when <foo> is basically a 
    type-specifier.  The  rationale is apparently that this form is an 
    abbreviation for (DECLARE (TYPE <foo> X Y Z)).

I should just not answer this, but read table 4-1 and then resend your message.
