However, maybe it shouldn't since there are some version like variables that are not visible

$ ./sql/mysqld --help --verbose|grep version

  --in-predicate-conversion-threshold=#

                      of IN predicate that triggers its conversion to IN

                      subquery. Set to 0 to disable the conversion.

                      variable is empty, no conversions are allowed and it is
