   It would be nice if Bash supported exportable functions like V9 "sh".
   Strings of the form "name=value" in the environment are considered
   environment variables, and strings of the form "name(){value}" are
   considered environment functions.

Bash 1.03 can export functions to other bashes.

Upon reading in the environment, if a string of the form "name=() {" is
found, then that is a function definition.  Perhaps I can support the
other syntax as well.

toplevel$ foo () { echo bar }
toplevel$ export foo
toplevel$ printenv foo
foo=() { echo bar }
toplevel$ bash
bash$ type foo
foo is a function
foo () { echo bar }
