On IRC, you mention
On trunk, universal variables no longer require fishd (!) and so it doesn't get
launched. This was first enabled with commit 20d7a142, and will be the default

Hi Booker,
I know all of this, but on my machine I simply don’t have fishd installed, nor

➜ ~ echo $FISH_VERSION
2.1.1-1089-g0ea80a3

grep fishd
➜ ~ which fishd
