Research direction

Start with dotnet-install.sh and reproduce the reported command, . dotnet-install.sh, in ZSH on macOS. Investigate the FUNCNAME[0] parameter errors and verify that the script completes without closing the shell when dot-sourced.

On a Mac running ZSH:

(eval):1: FUNCNAME[0]: parameter not set
(eval):1: FUNCNAME[0]: parameter not set

and then my shell closes, ouch!
