That's great.  So will this be implemented soon or will you consider
other lazy alternatives first?

I already made a patch for it here:
https://gist.github.com/konsolebox/a908cf13e511abdf05daec89a9cbdd8d#file-bash-source-real-patch

It's pretty simple but I wonder if an error should be raised if for
some reason sh_realpath fails.
