Thanks Chet,

So, is the rule:

an option is a set -o (SHELLOPTS) option as opposed to a shopt
option (BASHOPTS) if it has a corresponding single-letter "set"
option, or is in POSIX (ignoreeof, vi) or is also in ksh (emacs,
pipefail, histexpand...)?

But then, what about login_shell and globstar which are in ksh
but in BASHOPTS. And history, posix or interactive-comments that
don't have single letter options, and are not in ksh or POSIX?
