When creating a new option, how is the default chosen, between near
equivalents:

   - shopt -s kvpair_split
   - shopt -u no_kvpair_split


There's a difference when you consider BASHOPTS: an on-by-default option
can't be affected by those variables.

I can see arguments either way, but I thought I should ask if this was a
deliberate choice?
