In Ubuntu 12.04, enter the command 'which cd'. It prints nothing. Same with whatis and whereis:
$ whatis cd
cd: nothing appropriate.
$ whereis cd
cd:
$ which cd
Lame. It should print that cd is a bash builtin, or a function or alias or whatever. |

Update:
This thread suggests using 'type -P' instead:
http://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/10525/how-to-use-which-on-an-aliased-command
While that is a solution, I don't think we should be satisfied with "which sucks, use something else instead" |
