The man page says,

    Exit  immediately  if a pipeline (which may consist of a
    single simple command), a list, or  a  compound  command
    (see SHELL GRAMMAR above), exits with a non-zero status.

I don't see function declarations included under "compound command"
in that section.  So the question, for me, is whether a function
declaration counts as a pipeline, a list, or a compound command (or
none of the above).

I'm about 90% sure it doesn't count as a compound command, since
the grammar for a function declaration includes "compound-command"
right after the "()" part.  Not sure about pipeline/list.
