$ type -a foobar
foobar is /usr/bin/foobar
$ file `type -p foobar`
/usr/bin/foobar: a bash script text executable
$ emacs !$
After the second command, the user thinks "Oh! I can view/edit this!".
Especially as the path can be arbitrarily long, it can be quite useful to
have the shell (or file(1), or...) generate it.
