`where` seems to be a zsh built-in:

I don't see why one shouldn't use the standard `which` *nix command instead.
Because `which` ia a C shell script. It reads your .cshrc, to see which
aliases would be defined if you were to use the C shell, but it doesn't
look at your .bashrc.
You're probably better off using `type`: it knows about built-ins and
shell functions and that sort of stuff:
$ which type
/usr/bin/type
$ type type
type is a shell builtin
$
Guess which answer is more relevant to you .....
