The attribute TYPE is inherited from standard-direct-slot-definition.
In testing with CLISP, I've found that CLISP names this attribute
differently than AllegoCL, CMUCL, Lispworks, OpenMCL, and SBCL. CLISP
names this slot $TYPE. I've worked around this in my CLSQL development
tree, but this compatibility update is not in the last public release
of CLSQL (3.0.6).

FYI, the TYPE slot is used to extract the CLSQL type information of
the view class slot. In CLSQL's compute-effective-slot-definition, a
more generic Lisp type is stored back in the TYPE attribute after the
CLSQL-specific TYPE information is extracted from the direct slot
definition.

Nope, just inherited from a superclass as explained above.
