Sorry, most of your initial post went way over my head, I just
reacted to the last sentence to warn against the "bash way" in
this regard and make sure that -g remains more for "non-local"
than "global" (whatever that means such as outermost-scope in
bash).

Thanks.

Also fine with me for +g to cancel an implicit -g that would
mean non-local.
