Linux: bash 'declare -f' adds trailing whitespaces to output
Tested in:
GNU bash, version 2.05.0(1)-release (sparc-sun-solaris2.9)
GNU bash, version 3.2.25(16)-release (i686-pc-cygwin)
An example:
function testfunc ()
{
echo "this is test"
}
>From shell:
$ declare -f | grep testfunc -A 3 | cat -A
Result; notice the trailing whitespaces in output:
testfunc () $
{ $
echo "this is test"$
}$

It smells like a bug to output trailing spaces for some lines and not
some others.(*)

(*) I sometimes "record" anvironment state and git does not like
trailing spaces for a good reason.
