Hmm, maybe the which(1) man page should be tweaked a little to make it
really clear that people not using csh should instead use alternatives
such as whence.

I just popped out to look at the 1.4U which(1) man page and it has some
really terse bits about "csh only" that are not clear; they seem to
be explaining that which is a csh script, not that it is useless for
non-csh-users.
