The builtin is based on the behaviour of the z-shell.
Namely it tries to resolve every argument one by one.
When resolving (in the order below) the following results can occur:
1. The argument is a shell built-in command. Then print it.
2. The argument is an alias. In this case we print the mapped value.
3. The argument was found in the `PATH` environment variable.
In this case we print the resolved absolute path
and try to find more occurences in the `PATH` environment variable.
4. None of the above. If no earlier argument got resolved,
we print the error `{argument} not found`.
If at least one argument got resolved we exit with exit code 0,
otherwise 1.
By not using Core::File to resolve the executable in the environment
but rather using a modified version of the code we print every
matching executable of the given name. This behaviour matches
up with the z-shell.
The builtin has the following flags to modify the behaviour according
to the users needs:
- `-p --path-only`: This skips the built-in and alias checks
(step 1 & 2)
- `-s --follow-symlink`: This follows the symlinks of an executable to
its symlink-free location.
- `-w --type`: This displays the type of the found object
without any additional descriptive information.
