Exactly that was the point. The function executes in the context of the current shell, not in the child shell which is created when a #!/bin/bash script is invoked. > I'm afraid many people have some kind of function or aliases related > to _real_ mc binary and current mc wrapper can broke it.

I'd vote for removal of the wrapper script for three reasons: 1) it's a bashism, 2) it's a waste of memory, 3) it can be done more elegantly.
