. has always used PATH; but in older shells, it also implicitly tacked .
onto its path search.  Since this was a security hole for trojan files,
POSIX forbids implicit `.'.  Thus, the only safe way to source a file in
the current directory is with anchored notation, since you can't rely on
`.' being in the user's PATH.
