Public bug reported:
Say you have script named test.sh in current directory
#!/bin/bash
declare -A a
b="80's"
((++a[$b]))
((++a["$b"]))
[[ $((++a[$b])) ]] || true
[[ $((++a["$b"])) ]] || true
echo ${a["$b"]}
echo ${a[$b]}
It outputs
./test.sh: line 4: ((: ++a[80's]: bad array subscript (error token is "a[80's]")
./test.sh: line 5: ((: ++a[80's]: bad array subscript (error token is "a[80's]")
./test.sh: line 6: ++a[80's]: bad array subscript (error token is "a[80's]")
1

Expected output is
4
4
like it is when b is "80s". Note that only the incremention on line 7 of the
script works.
