Good suggestion!

In fact, we might as well immediately go for full POSIX compliance.

How do you feel about using `hash' ?  Besides being available in POSIX
sh, it has the added benefit of making subsequent lookups faster [*].

 Thanks for the nice work!
 I want to share one thing which came up to my mind during reading
 through them. Since we require bash for tests, we might go for using
 bash's builtin 'type -P foo' instead of 'which foo'. Not that it's
 important, just wondered why not?

Thanks for the nice work!
I want to share one thing which came up to my mind during reading
through them. Since we require bash for tests, we might go for using
bash's builtin 'type -P foo' instead of 'which foo'. Not that it's
important, just wondered "why not?"
