typeset basically sux. I know my opinion is unwashed, but typeset leads
me astray in every way. What you and Bart are writing just now is what
'typeset -p' should basically be doing. This 'display' via re-creation'
-- which gives us those useless 'typeset -g ...' outputs within a
function -- And the m and p switches don't play well together. Nope,
it's hard to love typeset. Dunno, if I ask you your middle name, should
the answer be to re-create your birth certificate? Just tell me.
typeset -p is a very busted way of getting information. OK, it's not
*meant* for getting information but, prior to describe-param it's where
you had to go. Finally we have a real solution!
