Re: consistency probs w/ 'readonly -f' & 'export -f

Ooops... some more testing...

   It actually seems to be re-usable... though not nearly as
concisely as the var listing format.

See above.

using> declare -pf <funcname>
output:
  <funcname> ()
  {
      <content>
  }
  declare -frx <funcname>


Which REALLY BEGS the QUESTION:

Sure seems like it would allow for some better consistency in
some circumstances, not to mention a more compact function-definition
form for re-use.
