% () {

(anon):3: numeric parameter i created globally in function (anon)
(anon):3: scalar parameter a created globally in function (anon)
(anon):3: scalar parameter b created globally in function (anon)
(anon):3: scalar parameter c created globally in function (anon)
% typeset -p a b c
typeset a=1
typeset b=2
typeset c=3
