To me this seems like an idea worth at least considering, it would also
be nice to have an option to see the whole chain of candidates.  (the
function and possibly the builtin or executable(s))  I once had a
function, that called a script, that called the binary, all with the
same name, and it stopped working when another version appeared in my
path.  (Memory falters on whether this was from changing the $path or
an executable in a new place.)

I ended up writing the following rc function to tell me where an
executable was (or could be) coming from.  It should probably also
check if there is a function by the name given, before listing the
executable files, but I tend to know what functions are in my .rcrc
file.

fn whereis { i=() p=() { 
	for (i)
		for (p in $path)
			if (test -f $p/$i -a -x $p/$i)
				echo $p/$i
}}
