Hello,

Great, thanks for the guidance. I hope I managed it all correctly.

Good :-)

Yes, I checked internally, and this is a safe assumption.

I did, also wrote the description of the patch according to the rules I
found on orgmode.org

Subject: [PATCH] ob-shell.el: export vars as arrays for 'sh' code blocks

* lisp/ob-shell.el: added support to serialize vars as arrays or associative arrays as appropriate if it is using bash.
* testing/examples/ob-shell-test.org: a file containing a few code blocks both illustrating the use of arrays as well as serving as test for the new export functionality.
* testing/lisp/test-ob-shell.el: added a few unit tests that verify that this new logic only triggers for bash and no other shell at this time.

When variables are defined in a 'sh' code block, they are exported as strings. when the variable itself is an array or a table, then we simply get a shell variable that contains the list of all values in a non-structured form.
When calling the code block with bash, however, it will now export the list as an array, the table as an associative array. A scalar is exported the same way as before.
