Re: [BUG] functions can't create global readonly variables

Yes, this seems like a job for POSIX_BUILTINS.

I would note that even with -g there is no way to create an actual global
variable in the event that some intervening function has declared a name
to be local.

BIN_EXPORT was defined but never used, so ...

What additional test case should we have?
