Hi!

In the version dated 2019-Jan-07, I noticed the following mistake in the
GNU Bash manual:

| Associative arrays are created using
| declare -A name.

The period (".") after "name" should not be there.

Is this the man page or the texinfo manual? And where are you getting it,
since the versions in the bash-5.0 distribution are dated 7 December 2018?

Ah! Sorry, sorry, sorry. Forgot to include the URL in my original mail. It appears here:

   https://www.gnu.org/software/bash/manual/bash.html#Arrays

in the fourth verbatim text block. I'm assuming that's the latest & greatest documentation, yes? It's dated 7 December 2018.
