No. Doing this:

outerfunc() {
 func() { ...; }
 func args
 unset -f func
}
outerfunc

Doesn't guarantee that `func' will be only called from outerfunc. If you have
traps defined they can switch to other contexts where that funtion will be
available.

It's sad. Why do people keep pretending bash is something it isn't :-)?
