Personally, as somebody who tries to use csh-derived shells as little
as possible, and as somebody who uses many different Unices, I never
use "which". I reason that since which tends to read .cshrc files
to determine the PATH, that the output of which is never as reliable
as I could get via other methods. I'd hate to let an old, unused
.cshrc file lead me to bad information.

[The distinction between 'continuants' and 'occurrents'] answers to
the traditional distinction between substances and events. The
'continuant', however, need not carry the metaphysical implications
which sometimes were seen in 'substance', as being a substratum
distinct from its qualities. A continuant need only show a persistent
character recognisable over time. 'Occurrents' are changes in a
continuant, for example this particle as moving from A to B at time
