+Respect multibyte characters when found during pattern matching.
+When this option is set, characters strings are examined using the
+system library to determine how many bytes form a character, depending
+on the current locale.  If the option is unset
+(or the shell was not compiled with the configuration option
+tt(MULTIBYTE_SUPPORT)) a single byte is always treated as a single
+character.  The option will eventually be extended to cover expansion.
+Note, however, that it does not affect the shellʼs editor, which always
+uses the locale to determine multibyte characters.
