While it would probably make sense to wait a bit longer to see if anyone 
has comments on my audit of the existing Eshell built-in commands, I've 
implemented the first two points here (not "echo -e", though).

The changes to `source' and `.' might warrant a NEWS entry, since it's a 
(small) incompatible change; however, I think it's so rare that someone 
would call "source --help" that it might not be worth adding to NEWS. 
I'll do whatever others think is best here, though.
