The original `which' was a C shell script. Its purpose was
specifically to explain how the C shell would locate a particular
command. That's why the Korn shell introduced `type'. This
functionality *needs* to be a shell builtin -- the only reason an
external C shell script worked (most of the time) was that csh insists
on reading .cshrc even for non-interactive shells.
