Thanks for your suggestion. I still think those should be implemented by shell functions, but that interface sounds interesting. That seems to cover most of the cases I raised. However, those are merely examples I know, and I still think it would be better to leave the degrees of freedom for module managers. > * '-o' would report only the first command found (when more than one is > given) (or could be '-1'); > * '-p' would skip builtins & functions, and fail silently if no file can be > found; > * '-x' would search for files that lack exec permission. Maybe I'll attempt a shell-function implementation of this interface.
