I don't think it is over-cluttering. typeset -c declares a new variable to be a copy (hence 'c') of the variable with a given name. typeset -m declares a new variable, which is the variable name given after the = moved to the new variable name (hence 'm' for moving). For bash the overall idea has been discussed on chat (IRC) and the consensus is to see if it stays beyond alpha status in ksh93 and then pick it up. typeset -c as capsize will make room for typeset -c as copy because the copy function is a lot more useful than capsize. It may happen that the long option for capsize stays but that's not decided yet. > -- > Bah, gmail client.
