Where does this behaviour (keeping the quotes) get set?
What does the builtin "shopt" say? Especially the value of `compat42'

Joy! Joy! Happy! Happy! Another whole dimension for potential problems!

RTFM dash(1) I don't see any 'compat' keywords... (?)
STFW https://html.duckduckgo.com/html?q=dash%20compat42 I don't see

Where are the above settings documented?
