Which seems to be largely pointless, since the goal of the function
is to interact with a specific script.
If the function doesn't want to detect the shell (ideally, parsing the
interpreter from the shebang line, perhaps it'd be better just to
name the function(s) something like `source-sh-script' or
`source-csh-script'.

even used emacs as his login shell to see if it would work.
