Note that implementing the proposal mentioned here would change the existing behavior as described in bug #3180. Not sure what to think at this point.

** [bugs:#986] declare refuses subscripted variables and other non atoms**

declare refuses subscripted variables and other non
atoms. E.g.

\(%i25\) declare \(foo\[1\], integer\);

Improper argument to declare:
foo\[1\]

declare should at least recognize variables with
literal subscripts \(e.g. foo\[1\], bar\[2\], baz\[3\]\). 

declare might also recognize other kinds of expressions
such as variable subscripts \(e.g. foo\[n\]\), unevaluated
function calls \(e.g. foo\(x\)\), or maybe arbitrary
expressions \(e.g. sin\(foo\(x\) + bar\[y\]\) + baz\).

At present declarations are stored in the property list
of the symbol for the declared symbol. I don't know how
we would modify that to store declarations for nonatoms.
