Shouldn't "declare -ax" print a warning that it is useless?

There don's seem to be any warning system in Bash or other shells. As 
long as it is not a fatal error condition and errexit is not set, 
execution continue.


There are static analysis tools like Shellcheck which might be expanded 
to ware of such incompatible flags but that's it.

Curiously, ARRAY_EXPORT can be defined in config-top.h. It's probably safe to 
say that nobody uses it (nor should anybody wish to upon realising how it 
works).
