I use it a lot myself, but what happens once you are ‘addicted’ and you
login to a remote host where it is not configured..? ;-)

I think we're saying the same thing: 

When I wrote ‘out of curiosity’ in my initial post, I probably also
meant that I never liked this BASH_ENV business and felt it was time to
revisit.

Based on your remarks, I put together a.. ‘solution’:

- script#1  populates a directory with symbolic links to script#2 and
  adds this directory to the end of the PATH environment variable. The
  links have the same names as my aliases & functions. It runs whenever
  I start a Vim session.

- script#2 sources aliases/functions & proceeds to run whatever is in
  "$0" with the arguments in "$*"

It was rather fun getting this to work but rewriting it in a reasonably
robust manner would be a lot less fun. Looks like an accident waiting to
happen and I don't think I'm prepared to live with it.

Since this is only of interest in Vim, I feel that rather than messing
with bash, that's where the solution should be implemented.

I'm trying to figure out a way to trap ‘:!’ bash commands issued from
Vim and give control to a script that handles shell invocation with more
flexibility than the ‘shell=’ and ‘shellcmdflag=’ options.
