## Overview

We currently don't support '.' style sourcing. For broad compatibility, we should.

Research direction

Start by locating the code that recognizes and processes the `source` command. Check how it handles leading spaces, then add equivalent handling for a leading dot followed only by spaces; done means dot-style sourcing is recognized and processed like `source`.
