You DON'T have the facilities in .bashrc for scripts per default. If
your script relies on it, then it shouldn't. If it still does rely on
it, then it should manually source it to ensure it is actually
available, or you should factor out significant code into a shell library=
=2E

While you're at it you could make a shell library that looks for $XTRACE
and invokes 'set -x; unset XTRACE', which gets rid of the PITA you're
worried about too, and lets you choose exactly where in the script you
start debugging, so you can also skip preambles/lists of constants.
