process substition and "source"

[Poor Yorick]

In the following example, I expected the commands in the here-documents to be
interpreted in the current shell, but it seems they weren't.  Is it my
misunderstanding, a feature, or a bug?


    bash-3.2$ echo $BASH_VERSION
    3.2.39(1)-release
    bash-3.2$ . <(cat <<EOF
    echo hello
    export HELLO=1
    EOF
    )
    bash-3.2$ echo $HELLO

    bash-3.2$
