Is that a newer feature of bash? (My version doesn't support -n with
'local' or with 'declare'.) My response is based on the ksh feature.
The underlying ideas of the feature might be reflected in both shells

I think I read somewhere that it came in at bash 4.3 (c. 2014/2015) - which
is rather old now.  So, I wouldn't call it "new".
