[Developers] write grammar questions: question 1 -- user-defined types

[Will Fitzgerald]

Thanks for the comments, Will.

Sorry, I didn't mean to imply that I want to create types
programmatically. And I have worked through the write tutorial.

I understand that I was creating a type in the default domain. What I
haven't seen documented is the relationship between 'test/note' and
'x_test_note'.
