### Compatibility:
* In Bash 3.2 and newer with shopt `compat31` *disabled (the default)*, quoted patterns are literal whereas unquoted patterns are parsed for regex metacharacters.
* In Bash 3.2 and newer with shopt `compat31` *enabled*, quoted and unquoted patterns match identically.
* In Bash 3.1 quoted and unquoted patterns match identically.
