Pedantically, yes.  I like seeing directory name/executable clobbers.  It
is normally not an issue for me since I just threw the "&& return 0" on to
what I posted; normally I don't have that -- I want to see all versions.

Chris was concerned about the cost of exec'ing all those test(1)'s.
This version cuts it down to one:
    fn mywhat {
	@ for (i) {
	    fn $i
	    whatis $i
	}
    }
