Bash Version: 5.2
Patch Level: !PATCHLEVEL!
Release Status: rc2
Description:
bash 5.2 has introduced the `globskipdots' shopt which prevents
pathname expansion to match "." and ".." and is on by default.
When bash is starts in POSIX mode, it is also on by default,
it probably should not be for portability reasons.
I'm going to leave it as it is.
