Description:
If a function, f, declares a local readonly variable, v, using local -r, an
error occurs if f calls another function, g, that declares its own local
variable v (therefore shadowing v from f) and that assigns v to an array in
the same statement as the shadowing declaration.

g can, however, assign v to a scalar in a shadowing declaration.

g can also assign a shadowing v to an array, as long as it isn't assigned
in the same statement as the declaration.

Repeat-By:

function aaa() {
        local x='1 2 3'
        echo "aaa ${x}"
}

function bbb() {
        local x
        x=(4 5 6)
        echo "bbb ${x[*]}"
}

function ccc() {
        local x=(7 8 9)
        echo "ccc ${x[*]}"
}

function ddd() {
        local -r x='0'
        echo "ddd ${x}"
        aaa
        bbb
        ccc
}

ddd

# the above outputs the following:

ddd 0
aaa 1 2 3
bbb 4 5 6
bash: x: readonly variable
