Bash Version: 4.3
Patch Level: 42
Release Status: release

Description:

    read -ra var  doesn't change the casing of the strings it assigns
    when var has been declared with -l or -u.

    read without -a, and mapfile both work as expected.

    I also tested the latest devel branch to confirm the bug is still
    present there.

Repeat-By:

        declare -l a b c d
        a=( HEllO woRLd )
        read -r b <<< "HEllO woRLd"
        read -ra c <<< "HEllO woRLd"
        mapfile d <<< "HEllO woRLd"
        declare -p a b c d

    Output:

        declare -al a=([0]="hello" [1]="world")
        declare -l b="hello world"
        declare -al c=([0]="HEllO" [1]="woRLd")
        declare -al d=([0]=$'hello world\n')
