There are three methods for calling prefixed GNU utilities interactively
non-prefixed aliasing, hashing, and wrapper functions. Two of these
methods are unreliable and are discussed bellow for reference only.
The aliasing method is unreliable since aliases are at risk of being
overridden resulting in non-GNU utilities being called with invalid
switches.
The hashing method is unreliable because hashed commands are lost
whenever hash -r or rehash -f are called. Thus, said built-ins have to
be wrapped to rehash GNU utilities. Unfortunately, altering $path will
cause Zsh to call the built-in rehash instead of the wrapped one
resulting in the hashed commands being lost.
The wrapper function method is currently the most reliable and is the
one used.
