I am unable to make sense of the bash man-page description of the
extquote shopt option.

It says:

  extquote
   If set, $’string’ and $"string" quoting is performed within
   ${parameter} expansions enclosed in double quotes.  This option
   is enabled by default.

Can anybody come up with an example where the setting of extquote
makes a difference?   I would actually like to have two examples,
one with $'string' and one with $"string".
