BASH PATCH REPORT
                            =================

Bash-Release: 3.0
Patch-ID: bash30-015

Bug-Reported-by: [email protected]
Bug-Reference-ID: <[email protected]>
Bug-Reference-URL: http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-bash/2004-10/msg00297.html

Bug-Description:

  Shell variable can start with number and can even be printed with
   'declare', as in
       1=aaa
       1a=bbb
       declare -p 1 1a

   But, they can't be removed, as in
       unset 1 1a              --> ...: not a valid identifier

   Bash-2.05b correctly gives me error, however.
