No, it will not make it into bash-5.0 so I haven't looked at it further.
It is on the list for a future release.

You can get it to work by specifying the keymap: bind -m emacs-meta -u non-incremental-forward-search-history assuming you're using emacs editing mode.

I don't think there's a problem with a `syntax conflict' as long as any builtin sleep accepts a superset of the POSIX options for sleep(1). I'm going to wait until after bash-5.0 is released before considering this. In the meantime, there is the loadable version, which is now built and installed by default when you run `make install'.
