I will look into adding this. However, unless, the get and set disciplines
aren't aren't the reverse of each other, typeset -p will not output variables
in a form that can be reinput.
Perhaps the get and set disciplines form compound variables should
not be applied for typeset -p.
I will add this to my todo list for possible implementation.
