I have zsh source dating back to 1993, before I even knew there *was* a "declare" command, but it's there, and doesn't have -m. {"declare", bin_typeset, 0, -1, BINF_TYPEOPTS, 0, "LRZfilrtux", NULL}, } My suspicion is that it was an oversight when -m was added but it may } have been bash compatibility. I suspect the latter: For source that old, it's almost all Paul's code, and I suspect he implemented it as nearly as possible the way bash does. } So I really don't see much harm in adding -m to declare's options. } Or do you disagree? No, I don't see any harm. I think that means you should reverse the sense of the test rather than remove the test, though.
