with bash-4.0, new compat options were introduced: shopt -s compat32 and with bash-4.3, a variable was added: export BASH_COMPAT=3.2

--- Maybe if you could check if there is a compat setting for a given version, since compat's aren't usually defined until the following version --- and THEN, only if 4.4 changed something that it needed a compat43 option. AFAIK, compats were introduced because of newer versions being incompat in some way to the old. But if there is no incompat, there wouldn't be a need for a compat43 option... Else shopt's options will just grow/grow/grow..... ??
