No Implicit Typing

When using implicit typing, one not only has to remember FORTRAN's archaic rules for determining the type of a variable, but the variable names are often mangled so that they begin with the proper letter. This leads to a profusion of I0, I1, I2, etc. variable names when you need another integer and X, Y, and Z when you need a real number.
