Is there a function that tells whether a thing is a valid type
specifier, i.e.

  (type-specifier-p '(and cons (member a b c))) = t
  (type-specifier-p 'this-is-not-a-valid-type)  = nil

It should of course also handle user-defined types and hopefully deftypes.
  
I can't find anything in the CLtL 2, but would guess that specific
implementations has such a function in the internals. So, does anybody
know if CMU, Lucid, (A)KCL... has such a function?
