That's not an answer to the question. Other available information is
also accurate, just not (what you consider) complete.

Still not an answer. They actually ARE two different names for the
same operation of the shell, so what difference did it make to you?
When do you ever need to know this for a variable you can't look up by
name in the docs?
If the answer is just because you're curious, that's perfectly fine,
but it isn't necessarily a justification for adding something to the C
code of the shell.
Incidentally, "typeset -P" is already co-opted by the zsh/param/private module.
