Hello friends,

I met a strange behavior with "shopt -p", which could ruin my sleep .  
  
In a part of a script, i would like to use extglob,  
then I wrote:

```
# save extglob shopt  
extglob="$(shopt -p extglob)" 
# Make sure extglob is set  
shopt -s extglob
```
(and later: )
```
# make sure extglob is as we found it before.
$extglob

```

But the line
extglob="$(shopt -p extglob)" )
returns 1.

Why ?

NB: As I use to use "set -e", it is a little annoying, and I won't like to add 
a dirty "|| true" as a workaround.

NB2: Tested on 2 debian machines, bash versions : 5.2.37 and 5.2.15.
