        `declare -f` wrongly displays the `coproc my_command` statement.

Thanks for the report. I agree that command printing should omit the
coproc name if the command is a simple command. The documentation warns
against using simple commands as coprocs, but the parser doesn't actually
prohibit it, and adding the coproc name there introduces ambiguity.
