Introduce a "var" (o.s.) keyword that allows deduction of type

reduces the need to explictely define the type of variables.
How is this different to the current type inferencing?
The variable/field will have the type of the initally assigned value
(instead of Object when using def), therefore one cannot accidentially
assign any other type to it.
