declaration specifier n. an expression that can appear at top level of
a declare expression or a declaim form, or as the argument to
proclaim, and which has a car which is a declaration identifier, and
which has a cdr that is data interpreted according to rules specific
to the declaration identifier.

declaration identifier n. one of the symbols declaration,
dynamic-extent, ftype, function, ignore, inline, notinline, optimize,
special, or type; or a symbol which is the name of a type; or a symbol
which has been declared to be a declaration identifier by using a
declaration declaration.

So, in short, the first element on a declaration specifier has to be a
symbol. The proper writing of that line would be

(declare (fixnum minimum) (type (or fixnum null) maximum))

Could you notify Edi Weitz?
