Bash Version: 5.1
Patch Level: 4
Release Status: release

Description:

man bash says:
> completion-map-case (Off)
> If set to On, and completion-ignore-case is enabled, readline treats hyphens (-) and underscores (_) as equivalent when performing case-insensitive filename matching and completion.

$ bind -v|grep case
set completion-ignore-case on
set completion-map-case on


Repeat-By:

So it should be enabled and when I type

$ touch _test
$ chmod +x -t<TAB>

it completes to

$ chmod +x _test

But neither

$ ./-t<TAB>
$ ls -t<TAB>

complete.

If I turn off progcomp with `shopt -u progcomp` (as suggested here https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/629844/bash-completion) it allows the `ls` example to complete but not the other.
