which was aliased to "type -p", not quite right for Goldilocks.

Thanks for all the suggestions,
 if anybody's interested, here's what I boiled out of them.

#
# /etc/bash.bashrc.local	gets sourced in the Suse way of things
#

# Here we disable some annoying behaviour

# Mailchecking? No thanks!
MAILCHECK=0;

# Let's have real paths
set -P

alias where='type -a'

# aliases take preference, so we have to un-bewitch it first
unalias which 2> /dev/null
function which () { builtin type -a "$@" | head -1; }
