Now, now, no need for slander.  ;-)

If you ask me, every copy of bash, everywhere, should have "which" aliased
to "command -v".  The likelihood that a bash user wants /usr/bin/which is
exceedingly small.  Not only that, it meets the Supreme Argument test:
it's easier to type "which" than "command -v".  Much, much easier.  Try
it.
