I meant not my .bashrc and .bash_profile are readonly, but when I put
into them the line like this:
SHELLOPTS='igncr'
after logging in bash says to me that SHELLOPTS is readonly variable and
cannot be set.

I've read these announcements and I already use the most applicable to
me solution from them - SHELLOPTS=igncr.
I don't want to use text mounts because at least as I've understood they
are not stable and also all written scripts in there work use the
convinience of binary mounts.
Is there another solution?
