Agreed.  A data type is not a nettype.  If you wanted to stretch the
concept of a nettype to encompass the variable object kind, then using
`default_nettype var would be a more consistent way to do it.

Note that the requested functionality of defaulting to a single-driver
net can already be accomplished by using `default_nettype uwire.  The
functionality of getting an alternate data type cannot, but that is not
appropriate functionality for this directive.
