#15319 — Documentation about destroying an array element

https://www.gnu.org/software/bash/manual/html_node/Arrays.html tells
"unset name[subscript] destroys the array element at index subscript."

But if there is a file named names, nameu ,nameb, namec, namer, namei, 
namep or namet in currenct directory, that does not work, unless 
globbing is disabled (set -o noglob).

So quoting should be stressed in the manual.

BASH_VERSION 4.4.20(1)-release
