It might be worth mentioning it briefly, in order to reduce the chances of a regression in the future. Maybe something like... "In Bash we can do better: run the 'compgen -v __gitcomp_builtin_' builtin command, which lists the same variables, but without the risk of errors caused by poor Unicode handling in some shells' 'set' builtin command or the overhead of executing 'sed'."
