All good:
$ whence -mav global
global is a shell function
global is /usr/local/bin/global
Rename the file:
$ mv /usr/local/bin/global /usr/local/bin/gglobal
It now says 'not found', which is true, but ...
$ whence -mav global
global is a shell function
global not found
Restart:
$ zsh
... now it doesn't bother reporting that it's 'not found':
$ whence -mav global
global is a shell function
Rename the file back to 'global', and ...
$ mv /usr/local/bin/gglobal /usr/local/bin/global
... the file isn't found at all:
$ whence -mav global
global is a shell function
Must restart to find it:
$ zsh
... and there is is again:
$ whence -mav global
global is a shell function
global is /usr/local/bin/global
Is there some way to update or inform whence that a new item
exists on the path, without restarting the shell? Is this
something involving the hash table?
