Solaris ships with top, but it is cleverly hidden on the Companion CD,

Does it have to remain hidden? /usr/bin/top would probably be an easier
place to find it. A solution might be as simple as top being linked to a
script that explains to users prstat useage.
Intercepting top just won't work. You are correct that this is an
approachability
problem in that it should be in the default PATH, even if it is not in /usr/bin.
I've not kept up with the SFW or related discussions, which is where this will
most likely take place.

There are many of us who get used to the features of prstat that don't
exist in top, and therefore forget top exists. Going forward, the
system
monitor may win over both, presuming we can put into it the features
we need.

What is "The system monitor"? (Could you please provide a link?) Could
"system monitor" support prstat and top "perrsonalities"?
Launch -> All Applications -> System Tools -> Performance Monitor
What I like about it is that you can quickly resort. I must be getting lazy...
