Yes it does. |

Most people write their functions like so |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
foo() { |
| 17 |
local this=$1 that=$2 |
| 18 |
|
| 19 |
And then use $this and $that for greater clarity. So if they do that |
| 20 |
then resetting the positional parameters is a non issue as they've |
| 21 |
already been saved. |
