Bash Version: 3.0
Patch Level: 16
Release Status: release

Description:
        The form $'string' does not get expanded if it occurs in
        a double-quoted string even if shopt extquote is on.

Repeat-By:
        $ shopt -s extquote
        $ shopt extquote   # Verify it is "on":
        extquote        on
        $ echo A__$'\n'__B # Works ok:
        A__
        __B
        $ echo "A__$'\n'__B" # Wrong, should be same as previous:
        A__$'\n'__B
