This was... fun to find. I was writing a minimal srcinfo generator tool
to replace mksrcinfo from pkgbuild-introspection, and along the way
discovered that the following did not work:

bash -c 'source /usr/share/makepkg/srcinfo.sh; source PKGBUILD;
write_srcinfo_content'

But running that in an interactive shell did work. Why? Well, because
*bash-completion* turns on extglob.
