Description:
a declaration like the following was possible before bash-version 5.1:
declare -r -A MYAR=(
['first']="NUMBER ONE"
# --- 'self-reference' to declaring array variable MYAR
['top']="${MYAR['first']}"
)
echo "${MYAR[@]}"
now bash complains with a syntax-error on the
['top']="${MYAR['first']}" construct
