Now that we have shellcheck integrated into the build, we could enable
the POSIX mode test which would warn against this usage of which and
suggest the alternative.

At the moment though there are several other usages of which already in
the tests. And probably enabling POSIX mode would come with hundreds of
other warnings to fix.

I'm not saying we shouldn't change this instance though, just adding the
info for the discussion.
