   Then go back -- the TAB key is unmapped as a completion char,

no completion keys.  There are probably lots of other "one-way-adjustments",
but I haven't hit them all.

I'm going to guess that this is the same problem I discussed in

http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-bash/2014-06/msg00049.html

but the description above pretty much makes a hash of it.

        So because I am using the POSIX default for tab to
self insert, if I switch in+out of posix mode,  you wipe
my default?

Just because I happen to have the same default as posix is no
reason to wipe it when leaving posix.  I mean why doesn't bash
store the value the user had before entering posix and restore it
when leaving?

The double problem is that tab is no longer bound to anything
when you leave posix -- you don't get your original completion
char back, and TAB isn't activated as a new completion character,
so completion gets disabled.  Surely that can't be desirable?
(i.e. despite how bash got there -- understandable, shouldn't
it be fixed?)...
