Syntax::

(declaration {name}*)

Description::

Advises the compiler that each name is a valid but potentially non-standard declaration name. The purpose of this is to tell one compiler not to issue warnings for declarations meant for another compiler or other program processor.

Examples::
      (declaim (declaration author target-language target-machine))
      (declaim (target-language ada))
      (declaim (target-machine IBM-650))
      (defun strangep (x)
        (declare (author "Harry Tweeker"))
        (member x '(strange weird odd peculiar)))
