Below is another testcase (testing "bool"/enums and multi-dimensional
arrays vs. "typeset -m") which shows that even enum's loose their type
attributes:
-- snip --
$ ksh -c 'compound -a a=( [40][41][42][43]=( bool v ) ) ; ((
a[40][41][42][43].v=1 )) ;compound -a b ; typeset -m
"b[50][51][52][53].v=a[40][41][42][43].v" ; print -v b '
(
typeset -a [50]=(
typeset -a [51]=(
typeset -a [52]=(
[53]=(
v=true
)
)
)
)
)
-- snip --
(the "v=true"-line should be "_Bool v=true")
