That would be kind of useful, but the thing which worries me about that is the 
sys.path packing it will cause. I don't think that sys.path modification should 
be taken lightly, as every new entry there creates an opportunity for creating 
ambiguous imports (being able to import one file through several paths). And a 
lot of "interesting" things can happen when a python module gets imported 
through multiple paths. I think it's bad enough that every "command script 
import" adds a new sys.path entry. I wouldn't want "command source" to do the 
same...
