You might be confusing it with the fact that `typeset -x q` is
equivalent to `typeset -gx q` and `export q` when used within a
function, even though normally `typeset` within a function is
equivalent to `local`.

If there is a variable in function scope, there is no way to do
anything with the identically-named variable in global scope.
q=42
() {
local q;
# Nothing you can do here will have any
# effect on the global `q`.
}
