Hi!

I believe the Bash Reference Manual is missing a key note for using "set -o".

On the man page for "bash" (https://tiswww.case.edu/php/chet/bash/bash.html), the following line is present

  * If *-o* is supplied with no /option-name/, the values of the current
    options are printed. If *+o* is supplied with no /option-name/, a
    series of *set* commands to recreate the current option settings is
    displayed on the standard output.

On the corresponding section for "Set" in the Bash Reference Manual (https://www.gnu.org/software/bash/manual/html_node/The-Set-Builtin.html), that line of text is *not present*.

Thanks for the report. The devel branch versions of the man page and the
info file have identical text describing this mode.
