that would be to clever, because when i pipe ls output through less i
_do_ want to see the types.

hmm, i thought bash had a way to test interactivity in a script, but in
the manpage i can only find descriptions of the difference in behaviour.

i get it reproducably like this:

take any function:
> functions open
function open --description Open\ file\ in\ default\ application
        mimedb -l -- $argv
end

create a local version:
> vi ~/.fish.d/functions/open.fish

then see what's inside:
> functions open
function open
        echo foo
end

and then look again:
> functions open
function open --description Open\ file\ in\ default\ application
        mimedb -l -- $argv
end
