Maybe just create BASH_SOURCE_REAL instead to avoid the gripes.

This however introduces heavier changes.

I can already see people saying maybe keep this optional.  I don't
like it because you have to store the context directories to be able
to consistently generate the values the moment the option is enabled.

The lazy method I mentioned earlier as well will probably introduce
more code than this for the same reason.  It was only nice in theory.
