Description:
Regexp matching seems to be broken since 3.2.0.
Repeat-By:
The following used to work in bash-3.1:
$ [[ test =~ 't.*t' ]]; echo $?

It works without the quotes. Looks like they are taken literally instead of
being removed. I, too, f.think it's a bug, as according to the docs, quote
removal should be performed on the words between [[ and ]].
The behavior changed with 3.2, from the NEWS file:
" Quoting the string argument to the [[ command's =~ operator now forces
string matching, as with the other pattern-matching operators."
Quoting removal is performed but [[ is not a normal command (it's a
shell keyword)
OK. While I don't consider this a good idea, at least the reference
manual should be updated, which presently says:
"Word splitting and filename expansion are not performed on the words
between the `[[' and `]]'; tilde expansion, parameter and variable
expansion, arithmetic expansion, command substitution, process
substitution, _and quote removal_ are performed."

Bernd
