We have an implementation of "which" in puppet, and, IMO, it would make sense for both projects to share the same code and logic for this. However, our project structure doesn't currently lend itself to that.
If you do decide to implement a 'which', you might just copy the one from puppet. I'm not a big fan of the fact that the logic in those two copies of the same method may unintentionally diverge over time, but for now it'd probably be nice for the logic to be consistent between the two tools.
