CentOS is running a version of bash-4.2 (without even all of the patches applied); that version was released more than ten years ago and thechanges we're talking about here came in between bash-4.2 and bash-4.3.
Thanks, Chet. Still, the original post mentions an anomaly or two that supposedly apply to more recent versions (4.4.19 and 5.0.17) and it is those that have been bothering me especially. I called them out in my original reply.
One example is that gregrwm claims the following outcome for 5.0.17(1) in Ubuntu 20.04:-
$ echo @(?|.?) #. and .. are included . .. a .bNote that '.' is said to be among the pathnames matched. I don't see how this can possibly be the case. I'm hoping that it was merely a case of making a mistake in the course of performing the tests and assembling the results.
