Standard types in DGD are as follows.

variables:

    static      not saved by save_object(), not affected by
                restore_object()
    private     not visible from inheriting objects (as opposed to
                MudOS, where it is just an error to access it from an
                inheriting object); implies static
    nomask      all variables are automatically nomask, and this keyword
                cannot be used with variables

functions:

    static      can only be called from the same object.
                In the auto object, behaves like a kernel function:
                cannot be called with this_object()->func() and calls
                to it are not redirected if the function is masked.
    private     same as for variables
    nomask      cannot be masked by an inheriting object; contradicts
                private
    atomic      (not yet implemented) an uncaught error in an atomic
                function will cause all changes made from that function
                to be undone

If config.h defines MUDOS_EXTRA_TYPES, this package will define a few
types similar to MudOS.

variables:

    array	array type (macro for mixed*)
    function	storage type for functionpointers (_FP) in variables and
                as arguments to functions.

functions:

    public	does nothing, just for backwards compatibility
