No, let's not drop it. I like something at the beginning of the line
that immediately tells me there's a variable being declared instead of
my having to interpret it--as if I don't have enough trouble
interpreting my own code. I could live with Var (eventually) were it
to come to that, but there should be some clear indication of variable
declaration.
And no, let's not use "Dec" to declare variables. "Dec" is too easily
interpreted as meaning "Decrement."
