What
The bash snapshot now writes a shopt section, produced by shopt -p, ahead of the function dump. A function body using extglob or globstar syntax only re-parses correctly if the option is already switched on, so functions relying on those previously failed to restore. A duplicated shell-options echo was removed.
Evidence
# shopt before functions: a body using extglob/globstar syntax only
Strings lifted out of the shipped bundle, so the claim above can be checked against them.
