Maybe if you could check if there is a compat setting for
a given version, since compat's aren't usually defined until
the following version --- and THEN, only if 4.4 changed something
that it needed a compat43 option.

AFAIK, compats were introduced because of newer versions being incompat
in some way  to the old.  But if there is no incompat, there wouldn't
be a need for a compat43 option...

Else shopt's options will just grow/grow/grow.....
