I think this is difficult for older versions of zsh, but Bart will
probably come up with something.

I was surprised to find the zsh/parameter modules series of array
parameters that allow you to trace back the functions, sourced files,
etc. being executed don't give this information, which is present
internally.  This adds $functypestack to do this.  So you need to
see if $functypestack[1] is "source".
