I agree there's a good case for the new feature. I think someone 
mentioned tab completion upthread, and that doesn't make so much sense 
to me. This only makes sense nested in a script - in fact if it's not 
called from inside an included script (via -f or \i) it should possibly 
error out (if it already does this I apologise - I haven't looked at the 
patch).
