Further, if "localness" is considered an attribute of a variable (which isn't how I would implement it, but assuming it is) then surely declare should have an option to set the local attribute,
It doesn't need one; using declare in a shell function is sufficient to create a local variable.
and declare -p should generate a command which restores that (just as it does for the export attribute, the integer attribute, and I assume, others.
