Subject: wrong "export -p" output for exported but not set variables (Was: PATCH: [[ -v varname ]])

Actually, I was wrong about that and was basing it on the output
of typeset -p.
$ zsh -c 'export a; export -p a'
typeset -x a=''
(BTW, it would be nice to have sh-compatible (POSIX at least) output in:
$ ARGV0=sh zsh -c 'export a; export -p a'
typeset -x a=''
)
$ zsh -c 'export a; printenv a'
$ zsh -c 'export a=; printenv a'
$
$a was not given a default empty value there. It's considered as set though:
$ zsh -c 'export a; echo ${a+foo}'
foo
Which I think breaks POSIX compliance (and no other shell
outputs foo there)..
It's different for "readonly":
$ zsh -c 'readonly a; echo ${a+foo}'
foo
$ ARGV0=sh zsh -c 'readonly a; echo ${a+foo}'
$
