I think Sue has a made a good argument against allexport.
Also, from your reply to her I suspect you didn't know about
export VAR=value
which is what I use and would like to suggest.

FWIW, "set -E" does the same in fewer letters but is a FreeBSDism.

These are *very much* a matter of taste. I don't like a single one

One alias I think worth considering is
alias r='fc -s'
to provide ksh-style history access.
