read-only flag is lost for functions in sub shells

If I assigned the read-only bit to an exported var and run a new
shell, that var is still read-only.

However, doing the same with an exported function seems to drop
the read-only status.  If read-only status is supposed to be
immutable, wouldn't is this desirable?

(bash 4.2)
