Bash Version: 4.2
Patch Level: 45
Release Status: release

Description:
        The syntax of the ‘bind’ builtin command suggests that any readline 
command may be executed just by passing command name to the ‘bind’ in 
accordance with ‘man bash’. However,

    bind shell-expand-line

    Doesn’t seem to be working, as well as alias-expand-line or 
history-and-alias-expand-line. Strange bug is, after executing the command 
above the lowercase ‘l’ cannot be typed into terminal (That doesn’t 
affect uppercase ‘l’ or letters on the other layout). No, I do not have any 
aliases like ‘l’, it stops working even if you
 start a new shell with an empty environment

    env -i bash --noprofile

    and then run

    unalias -a

    in it.

Repeat-By:

    Add the following code to the ~/.bashrc:

        alias expand_me='Alias was expanded!'
        testing_bind_builtin() {
                shopt -s expand_aliases # to be sure
                bind shell-expand-line
        }
        [ -v TESTING_BIND ] && bind -x '"\C-m":"testing_bind_builtin"'

        Now call an instance of your favourite terminal emulator to test it…

        $ export TESTING_BIND=t; <your favourite terminal emulator>

        …and type the alias name (‘expand_me’) followed by Enter key or 
C-m. Alias should be expanded, but it doesn’t.
