It's the other way around.  The function gave you what you want, so
there's nothing for a built-in to the shell to do.

If NO function could give you what you wanted, that's a different
question.  E.g., it's a valid point that a parameter declared with
"typeset -E" could be more accurately described by $parameters /
${(t)var}, or that justification width could be more obviously
obtainable than just "typeset +m", or even that the documentation
could do a better job of relating ${(t)var} to the options of
"typeset" (I've submitted a patch for that last, incidentally).
