Assignment with colons *should* be tilde expanded in POSIX mode

As you know, POSIX requires tilde expansion following an an unquoted colon in an assignment [1]. A bug was reported [2] against bash 5.1-alpha that the tildes in $ echo foo=~:~ foo=~:~ should not be expanded in POSIX mode, because this is not an assignment. That was fixed in 5.1-beta.

globstar: **/foo*/ matches all directories, even ones not named foo*
