Hi Mattias,

thanks for your feedback.

yep agree, I think we should convey on a syntax for everything we want
to express (type and other properties), so we have something to
implement on the long run both for the Lisp both for the C side.

The main reason why I'd like to move them out is not to require the load
of comp.el for a simple C-h f.  Secondary yeah I think that if it's in
use outside the compilation functionality should just not live there.

Anyway I'm happy with any solution (as long as we find one :).

Thanks
