You first check if the given name is in the environment, then you assign over the same parameter again with the same value using another way to get the value.
There is method in my madness. printenv there returns "root", typeset return "USER=root" and more importantly printenv does not accept wildcards and ... nevermind -- the point is that whatever my motives, it seems strange that the code doesn't work when inside a function.
