Sorry to necrobump this bug, but as of POSIX 2008, "command -v" is required. See discussion at https://stackoverflow.com/q/34572700 as well as the specification at https://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/utilities/command.html posh-0.13.2 does not provide command -v, please provide it for POSIX 2008 conformance.
