All I suggested was having a BASH_SOURCE_PATH set to the empty string mean that no pathlookup should be done,
You can already do this; there's no reason to add these semantics to a variable setting.
and any attempt to use a relative path (and you can exclude ./anything or ../anything from that if you prefer - ie:
Those are not relative paths.
exclude anything which would skip the PATH-like search anyway) would simply fail (not just return itself and be attempted relative to ".")
Is this really valuable?

Maybe. We'll have to see. People will object no matter what the name is.
I have high hopes for `GLOBSORT', though.
