various posts: Implement assignment parsing for typeset.
Typeset assignments now work like raw assignments except for no "+=" and no GLOB_ASSIGN. Documented in typeset builtin doc and mentioned in release notes. Tests to ensure basic sanity. Enabled by default, can be turned off by "disable -r" with typeset family of commands.
