I just saw the new changes and tested it. It's not useful because BASH_SOURCE still expands to the relative form after `shopt -s bash_source_fullpath` is executed in the main script.
You mean for the paths that were added to BASH_SOURCE before setting the option? If that's a concern for you, maybe start the script with that option enabled on the command line.
This is why I was saying context directories would have to be stored and paths already stored in BASH_SOURCE would have to be converted to real pathversions the moment the option is enabled;
That's wrong for the same reason people didn't like doing it themselves: if the shell changes the working directory, prefixing the working directory is incorrect.
If this is already final can the option at least be allowed to be enabled by default at compile time?
Woe unto the poor soul who expects the default behavior and happens to use
a distro compiled with that as the default. Not that that's likely to
happen.
