I think it should be changed to the shell name used most often on
systems that are predominantly GNU.

It may be that "explicit-sh-args" would actually be more often what is
used rather than "explicit-bash-args" since I would suspect that using
bash under the "sh" name is pretty common.

On the other hand, customizing bash-specific options into
explicit-sh-args by default does not seem like a good idea, either.
