I've been trying to keep each of these patches under 20k or so.  I
guess 4+5 could have been left as one file, given how large 1 and now
7 ended up.  Oh, well.

In addition to adding tests for new code and for the misc. cases
Oliver pointed out, I also moved a number of "unset"s from the end of
the tests that created parameters to the beginning of the next test
case that uses those parameter names.  This should make the tests less
order-dependent and maybe the extra tests for side-effects could be
dropped.

 (See noderef(Command Execution).)
 
+Parameters declared by any of the `tt(typeset)' family of commands
+during the execution of a function become em(local) to the function
+unless the `tt(-g)' option is used.  This is the em(scope) of the
+parameter, which extends dynamically to any other functions called by
+the declaring function.  In most cases, local parameters take the
+place of any other parameter having the same name that was assigned or
+declared in an earlier function scope.
+(See noderef(Local Parameters).)
+
+A named parameter declared with the `tt(-n)' option to any of the
+`tt(typeset)' commands becomes a reference to a parameter in scope at
+the time of assignment to the named reference, which may be at a
+different call level than the declaring function.  For this reason,
+it is good practice to declare a named reference as soon as the
+referent parameter is in scope, and as early as possible in the
+function if the reference is to a parameter in a calling scope.
+
+A typical use of named references is to pass the name
+of the referent as a positional parameter.  For example,
+ifzman()
+example(pop+LPAR()RPAR() {

+  local last=$ref[$#ref]

+`tt(LPAR() a list of five RPAR())'.  There are no local parameters in
+tt(pop) at the time `tt(ref=$1)' is assigned, so `tt(ref)' becomes a
+reference to `tt(array)' in the caller.
