Bash's feature of being editable while it's running is particularly concerning
for environments where there are many developers or where tools like rsync
might be used on a source directory.
See below for an example/solution:

I'd like to add a very simple command line flag to bash that forces it to make
a temporary copy of the script that's running so that developers of scripts in
these environments can continue to use tools like rsync or git, etc. to do code
releases, but don't have to worry that running scripts will have unpredictable
behavior.
Is this something that the current maintainers would be interested in including
in the main code?
