Why is this important?
I am on a FreeBSD system now:
------------------------------
type -a test
=>
test is a shell builtin
test is /bin/test
------------------------------
I don't even have the coretuils port installed.
When would I need to use /bin/test, or /usr/bin/test,
/usr/local/bin/test or /usr/pkg/bin/test? The builtin is found and
used by 'bash' unless I do something special (I don't even remember
what, because I never had to use a utility instead of a Bash builtin.)
