Nope.  If you simply assign using array syntax, bash automatically
creates an array.

unset foo
foo=(a b c)
declare -p foo

The only time you must declare anything is when you're creating an
associative array.  And because declaring a variable makes it local
to a function, the -g option was added so that you can create global
associative arrays while inside a function.
