This has come up before, but I can't remember what happened to it. Some
shells, (ksh93?, tcsh?) have a more general feature of programmable actions
which happen when parameters get set/read, so perhaps the plan was to provide
and use that?
There's a bit of a problem with things like: "set cdpath=(/foo:blurb ..
~/bin)" and the like, but that exists already and doesn't bother anyone.
In any case, I think you're right, there ought to be some way of doing this,
and I can't see a way. (typeset -m is a bad choice though, since -m is
already taken.)
