`declare -a` is used for arrays when `declare -p` dumps the configuration. However when `pgenv_configuration_read` gets back the configuration, variables becomes locally scoped (see `bash -c "help declare"). One solution could be to use `declare -g` to make variables globals, but this does not works on OSX. Removing `declare -a` from arrays seems to make the variable global even if no `EXPORT` is issued. As a possible compatibility statement, the `EXPORT` after each variable is left in place. Close theory#56
When the configuration is dumped, the `declare -p` produces also the `-x` flag due to the presence of the explicit `EXPORT`.
