Feature request: Add "import" built-in.
Hi,
as I see it the "source" built-in is perfect for embedding a sourced
Bash script into the sourcing one while preserving as much of the
environment, specifically the positional and special parameters, as
possible.
What I am missing is the "import" built-in that passes only the
explicitly given arguments from the importing to the imported Bash script.
I currently emulate the behavior I seek for with the following function:
function _import {
local -r file="$1"
set -- "${@:2}"
source "$file" "$@"
}
For details please see my question and the answers on Unix & Linux
Exchange [1].
