Hello.

In the latest version of online manual for gnu bash,
in chapter "4.3.1 The Set Builtin"
(https://www.gnu.org/software/bash/manual/html_node/The-Set-Builtin.html)
there is obscure explanation to option "-a".
The sentence says "Mark variables and function which are modified or
created for export to ...".
First time when I read it I thought that the words "are modified or
created for export" should be treated as one statement.
But later, after I read descriptions from other sources I have found
that "for export" is related to the word "mark" at the beginning of
sentence.
I propose another description that would be more clear:
For each variable or function which is modified or created mark it for
export to the environment of subsequent commands.
