Nice try, Egon, but I think your solution has the same drawbacks as the
idea I mentioned in comment #2. The parentheses would make the
~/.profile commands be run in a subprocess, so if no error, you would
need to source ~/.profile in the main process as well, or else settings
of e.g. environment variables via ~/.profile would not work. In other
words, normally ~/.profile would be sourced twice.
