+arguments to the \fB[[\fP conditional command's \fB=~\fP operator
+and locale-specific string comparison when using the \fB[[\fP
+conditional command's \fB<\fP and \fB>\fP operators.
+Bash versions prior to bash-4.1 use ASCII collation and
+.IR strcmp (3);
+bash-4.1 and later use the current locale's collation sequence and
+.IR strcoll (3).

+If set,
+.B bash
+changes its behavior to that of version 3.2 with respect to
+locale-specific string comparison when using the \fB[[\fP
+conditional command's \fB<\fP and \fB>\fP operators (see previous item).
+.TP 8
+.B compat40
+If set,
+.B bash
+changes its behavior to that of version 4.0 with respect to locale-specific
+string comparison when using the \fB[[\fP
+conditional command's \fB<\fP and \fB>\fP operators (see description of
+\fBcompat31\fP)
+and the effect of interrupting a command list.
+Bash versions 4.0 and later interrupt the list as if the shell received the
+interrupt; previous versions continue with the next command in the list.
+.TP 8
+.B compat41
+If set,
+.BR bash ,
+when in \fIposix\fP mode, treats a single quote in a double-quoted
+parameter expansion as a special character. The single quotes must match
+(an even number) and the characters between the single quotes are considered
+quoted. This is the behavior of posix mode through version 4.1.
+The default bash behavior remains as in previous versions.
+.TP 8
+.B compat42
+If set,
+.B bash
+does not process the replacement string in the pattern substitution word
+expansion using quote removal.
+.TP 8
+.B complete_fullquote
+If set,
+.B bash
+quotes all shell metacharacters in filenames and directory names when
+performing completion.
+If not set,
+.B bash
+removes metacharacters such as the dollar sign from the set of
+characters that will be quoted in completed filenames
+when these metacharacters appear in shell variable references in words to be
+completed.
+This means that dollar signs in variable names that expand to directories
+will not be quoted;
+however, any dollar signs appearing in filenames will not be quoted, either.
+This is active only when bash is using backslashes to quote completed
+filenames.
+This variable is set by default, which is the default bash behavior in
+versions through 4.2.
+.TP 8
+.B direxpand
+If set,
+.B bash
+replaces directory names with the results of word expansion when performing
+filename completion. This changes the contents of the readline editing
+buffer.
+If not set,
+.B bash
+attempts to preserve what the user typed.
