Maybe. I'm not sure if propagating shell options to child shells was the intended primary use.
It was a long time ago (1995), but yes, that was one of the primary use cases.
With ENV/BASH_ENV you can already do that and more, I don't see the point in adding an environment variable that does the same thing.
You can exactly duplicate the current set of options in a child shell
without having to mess around with startup files. I agree that cygwin
probably should have used BASH_ENV for their intended use.
