I don't know if this makes consistency easier or harder, but there is
currently code to handle `declare' with -[iluc] early [1]. As a result, a
combination of localvar_inherit and the use of one of those options when
declaring a local variable allows (correctly or not) for associative arrays
to inh

This will generate an error about attempting to inherit a value from an
incompatible type.

Though my motivation in reporting this was to point out the segfault, I'm a
bit confused by why compound assignment should be an error here.

It seems that in general the array type is inherited just fine, there is an
issue only in the case that:
* the `A' attribute is inherited but not explicitly supplied
* we are creating the local variable with the `declare' command
(i.e. it is not already an existing local variable)

This should be an error due to mismatched array types. The local variable
is an indexed array; the global variable is an associative array (though
it is unset). You can't inheri
shopt -s localvar_inherit
declare -A var
f() { declare var+=([0]=X); }; f
