Behavior change/feature : display -p var; where var is a "placeholder" v

"Placeholder" variables currently can be displayed if they have an attribute
(iaArn) (1). Could there be a consideration for a behavior change/feature to
display them by name and prefix (2)(3)?

For illustration purposes:

  1) declare -i var; declare -pi
  2) declare -i var; declare -p var 
  3) declare -i var1= var2; declare -p ${!var*}

where the option 'i' above could be 'iaAnr' (1)(2)(3) and with the
additional '-' in (2)(3).
