What this is effectively requesting is that all functions have "sticky"
options, always.  We already rejected that idea for reasons of dynamic
scoping when originally designing "emulate ... -c".  I suppose a special
case could be made of POSIX_ARGZERO such that it is always sticky even when
other options are not, but that seems like an awful lot of effort for
something that doesn't matter most of the time.
