[isabelle-dev] Type arguments in datatype declarations

thanks for this offer.  But this misperception has not only infected
size but all datatype tools using the
Datatype_Aux.interpret_construction combinator which assumes exactly the
same restriction.  Therefore my proposal to internally provide a
consolidated view of the datatype specifications with type parameter
names made uniform, to handle the issue at one place and not in every
datatype package extension separately.

Cheers,
	Florian
