    Yup.  "I'm going to use a, for what I know not.  Could be string, could be
integer, could be whatever I want."  The point was defining the name and
assiciate it with nothing.  But since the type is inferred on first use might
as well have the C declarations.

    *sigh*  Examples!  These are examples.  Fine, for x in
('some','damned','list','of','stuff'):
  if damned:
    pass
  else:
    etc...
