Hi!

What should the 'type' command display ?
When I do 'type -all man' I get
man is aliased to `bman'
man is ./man
       ^^^^^
This is a directory and shouldn't be displayed according to the 
documentation of 'type'. The 'help type' says:

    If the -all flag is used, displays all of the places that contain an
    executable named `file'.  This includes aliases and functions, if and
    only if the -path flag is not also used.

Is this correct?
