Yup, I am not that good at all those bash specific functionalities...
Thanks for catching that!

I have not digged into the bash source code, but I think we are pretty
close to fully understanding how bash distinguishes normal env.vars
from functions. Interestingly, if we end the function declaration with
"; }" in tcsh, and run bash, then bash simply changes the "; }" back
to newline+"}" in the environment.
