Admittedly, I never use history expansion, so I'm not thinking about how it could be useful in a given context. May as well put 'set +o histexpand' in my .bashrc and call it a day. When messing around in interactive mode to test things I may want to do in a script, it's nice if it actually behaves the same. There are probably some other set and possibly shopt things I should have somewhere if that's what I want. - Zack
