> 4) In this case IMO a new startup flag is the best solution.

A startup flag is good for setting the default, but this should
really be configurable at run-time (say, a __dosexec_search_mode
variable).  That way bash can have, say, 'set +commandcomstyleexec'
or an option in _inputrc to switch between modes.  I'd want a
change to the behaviour an app requests to be a conscious user
choice; having an envvar that is checked by libc doesn't feel
right.
