Right. It still works. Personally I'd rather call 'which' at "compile time"
when the alias was defined, rather than when it's used. Which is why it looked
like he was doing variable expansion inside ''.

Or... don't tell me... which is another built-in?

Hey, Steve. You want to cut a whole bunch of stuff out of sksh? Get rid of all
the builtins!
