Error in bash documentation for builtin declare

[Edouard Thiel]

Hello,

there is an error in the bash documentation:
    https://www.gnu.org/software/bash/manual/bash.html#Bash-Builtins

In the 'declare' builtin, option '-n',  last sentence:
    "The nameref attribute cannot be applied to array variables"
is actually wrong: it can be applied to indexed and associative arrays 
(since bash 4.3+)

(tested for bash version : 4.3.48(1)-release (x86_64-pc-linux-gnu))

it can even be applied to functions, except that for calling, explicit 
dereference must be given.

Cheers,
Edouard Thiel
