The explicit purpose of the hideval attribute is to prevent "typeset
-p" (and several other things) from displaying/restoring the value.

     -p [ N ]
          If the -p option is given, parameters and values are printed
          in the form of a typeset command with an assignment,
          regardless of other flags and options.  Note that the -H flag
          on parameters is respected; no value will be shown for these
          parameters.
