The function is a red herring. If you run `unsetopt typeset_silent` in
the function or before invoking it, you'll see the same behavior as
you see in the script. If you read the description of this option,
you'll immediately see that everything works as expected. This option
controls `typeset` in exactly the way you are observing.
