Ideas for DEFTYPE definitions

1. They should be kept in a global database, such as a hash table instead of using system properties
2. They can be optimized for constant outputs reusing the same closure
3. The compiler should override the database with a "local" one that wipes out all compile-time side effects (ideally this should also be the case for CLOS)
4. All DEFTYPE definitions could be packed into a single file instead of multiple, scattered DEFTYPE statements, for more compact rebuilding of the database.
