[PATCH] [DNM] builtin: add source for Bash compat

[PATCH] [DNM] builtin: add source for Bash compat

[Eduardo Santos]

Do not merge this patch; it is purely informational.

I tried using DASH in a container image for GitLab CI/CD [1] but the
runner expects the source special builtin from Bash to be available.
This one-liner fixed it for me.

FWIW, this can also be done with a function inside the shell itself :)

	source () {
		. "$@"
	}

...hopefully I used the correct special parameter and quotes, but in
most cases you can probably just use $1 and be fine.
