A bug report from Harald van Dijk:
test2.sh:
trap 'kill $!; exit' TERM
{ kill $$; exec sleep 9; } &
wait $!
The above script ought exit quickly, and not leave a stray
"sleep" child:
(1) if "kill $$" signal is delivered before "wait",
then TERM trap will kill the child, and exit.
(2) if "kill $$"

Not `test` as such as we have just learned, but the returncode of

I'm not sure if it's intended to work this way, but ${var@a} will
report the attributes if the variable has any set, even if it does not
have a value, like:
BASH 5.0.16.
$ VAR1=aaa
$ declare -a VAR2=(aaa)
$ declare -A VAR3=([aaa]=aaa)
$ declare -p VAR{1,2,3}
declare -- VAR1="aaa"
declare -a VAR2=([0]="aaa")
declare -A VAR3=([aaa]="aaa" )
$ echo "${VAR1@A}"
VAR1='aaa'
$ echo "${VAR2@A}"
declare -a VAR2='aaa'
$ echo "${VAR3@A}"
$

${!variable@operator} does not work for variables without values.
See empty values for all occurrences of ${!var@...} below.
${variable@A} does not work for scalar variables without values, but
interestingly ${variable[@]@A} works for them.
See difference between ${VAR1@A} and ${VAR1[@]@A} below.
When scalar variable is read-only, then calling 'local' for this
variable (regardless of presence of value in assignment) is non-fatal
and subsequent commands in function are executed.
When (indexed or associative) array is read-only, then calling 'local
-a' or 'local -A' (without value) for this

Notice unnecessary space before closing parenthesis for non-empty
associative arrays (VAR5, VAR6) below:
$ declare -a VAR1=() VAR2=(a) VAR3=(a b)
$ declare -A VAR4=() VAR5=([0]=a) VAR6=([0]=a [1]=b)
$ declare -p VAR{1,2,3,4,5,6}
declare -a VAR1=()
declare -a VAR2=([0]="a")
declare -a VAR3=([0]="a"

More precisely, ${variable[@]@A} is non-empty, but not exactly correct.

${VAR1[@]@A} is:
declare -rl VAR1=''"
But sho
While described problems exist, there were typos in original reproduction steps.
Corrected output also reveals another bug:
${!variable[@]@A} for (indexed or associative) arrays does not include indexes.
Example part of output:
var=VAR4
${!var@A}:'declare -arl VAR4='zzz''
${!var[@]@A}: 'declar

This would affect only 10 examples from 120, so only 8.33 % of
examples, far from all examples.
