Description:

        `declare -p` loses the global flag passed to variable/array on
definition.

        I think this behaviour is reasonable, but sometimes I need to
save/restore

        Global variables in the function. Unfortunately when I source saved

        variables from a function the variables are scoped to that function.

        Could you please add the ability to display all the variables as
global

        when using '-g' along with '-p' option? No internal checks needed,
just

        Put the '-g' flag when displaying each variable definition requested.

I will consider this for a future version.
