Thanks for the report. More precisely, if the first word in the pattern
list is the literal string "esac".

I've been thinking for a while now that POSIX made a mistake when it
permitted ';;' before the closing 'esac'. If ';;' were prohibited there,
then the parser could be sure that the next word after every ';;' would be a
pattern, even if it looks like 'esac'. But as things stand, there's an
Hello.
I have noticed that declare -f does not output valid code when a
pattern is `esac'.
To use esac as a pattern you need to use the (esac) syntax, but
declare -f does not use it, and ends up generating invalid code.
a () {
case $1 in
hi) echo hi ;;
(esac) echo esac ;;
