Eh, I thought that things like typeset -a*=() will be easy to convert
to traditional syntax in name of robustness. Code that runs on any
version, like z-sy-h, that runs on 4.3.9. But (b) can be added in the
name of robustness too. Code that doesn't break in edge cases.

That also can be copied.

That would be problematic.
