Hello there,
I believe there is a bug with associative arrays, when once referenced in
another function through the -n option, both the new reference name and the
old one are made available.
```bash
#!/bin/bash
function my_function(){
declare -A my_array
my_array=(["one"]="one")
othe
he use of declare -n "reference", to make a copy
of the referenced variable.
Best,
