Thanks for the report. These two variables aren't reported by `bind -v'
if they have a value, so that needs to be fixed. However:

These variables don't have a default value and won't be reported until you
set them to something. The display code uses whatever the terminfo entry
reports for the terminal's so/se capabilities if they aren't set.

Similarly, this variable doesn't have a default value and isn't reported
until you set it to something. The isearch code uses a default value if
it's not set.
