[Bash-completion-devel] local and arrays

[dnade.ext at orange.com]

	Hello

Please consider the following patch. I's not really an important one but it's more about doing what you actually want to do.

It happens that "local foo=()" doesnt declare an array named foo. It actually declare a regular variable with the string '()' as value (as in "foo='()'").

Regards, 

	D
