The option solution completely avoids that possibility.

That's true, I stand corrected. I was thinking of the find_user_command function
because it's what I based the find_user_library function on.
They are all implemented in terms of the find_user_command_internal.

The option character isn't important. Is it useful to have an additional
option to `source' that forces it to use $BASH_SOURCE_PATH, or should that
behave like other builtins ($CDP
Honestly, I share the same feeling as the others about the name
`library'. The use of the ``library'' feels something wrong in this
context.
I still think the variable name should be BASH_SOURCE_PATH. I've
suggested `-l' as an *example*, but that's just because I couldn't

By this definition, dynamic languages and scripting languages don't have
libraries.
They clearly do have libraries. Sometimes they're called modules but it's the
same thing.

I think it's actually the source builtin which incorrectly
implies that all sourced scripts are executables
when they might actually be libraries and modules.

I don't think so. A library is just a logical collection of code and data
that you can use to implement software. This is a mechanism meant
to load those libraries separately from executables.

Bash scripts can be tricky to get right so reusing proven solutions
as shell script libraries is of immense value. However, the existing
shell script sourcing mechanisms are suboptimal for this task.
The source builtin uses the PATH variable for resolving file names
which means they would have to
