But there is already declare(x,real).

This looks like a bug though:

(C1) declare(x,real);

(C2) facts();

(D2)                            [KIND(x, REAL)]
(C3) forget(facts());

(D3)        [[(PAR, (REAL, IMAGINARY), COMPLEX)(PAR(CON, GLOBAL))]]
(C4) facts();

(D4)                            [KIND(x, REAL)]
(C5)
