The idea is probably that giving all intrinsics types right from the 
beginning would be unnecessarily blowing up namespaces, and therefore 
memory and compile-time consumption (and maybe module files)

What one can possibly do, though it might require quite a bit of care, 
is modifying variable_decl() to check if the symbol is an intrinsic 
declared with the correct type before adding it to the namespace.
