[ast-developers] How to define a local type variable?

[Wendy Lin]

How do I define a local type variable in a function?

If I do a typeset -T a_t=() and then do a function foo {, how do I
make the variable local?

It appears to be local to me automatically, if this is
what you intended:

typeset -T A_t=(
typeset name
)

function foo
{
A_t x=(name=joe)

print foo_name=${x.name}
}

foo

print name=${x.name}

Output:
foo_name=joe
name=

There is a bug which doesn't allow type names that begin with the letter
'a'. I have a fix for it.
