PATH isn't special. Here:

    % export -T FOO foo=( bar baz )
    % typeset -p FOO
    export -T FOO foo=( bar baz )

The output of `typeset -p` is a command that you can evaluate to set
the parameter to its current value.

Do you see that everything works as intended? If not, what do you
think `typeset -p FOO` should output here? Keep in mind that it must
be a command that you can evaluate to set the parameter to its current
value.
