correct error message?

[L A Walsh]

I was checking to see if an associative array had a member:


>  echo $BASH_VERSION                                
4.4.5(1)-release
>  declare -A requires=([squid]="-d /var/cache/squid/run")

This works as expected:

>  if [[ ${requires[xxx]:-} ]]; then echo ok; else echo not; fi
not

But this didn't (misspelling of hash name):

>  if [[ ${requirs[xxx]:-} ]]; then echo ok; else echo not; fi
bash: xxx: unbound variable

Shouldn't it have said:

bash: requirs: unbound variable?
