This problem is specific to bash, I believe.

Yes, it's only specific to the shell that 99%+ of users use.

Really? At least a third of the people I know use zsh. Not claiming to be a representative sample, but 99%+ sounds unrealistic. I was glad that Roman sent his reply, as it was directly useful for me.

I guess to you that means it's sufficiently irrelevant that you need to publicly dispute it?

Seriously, don't make assumptions, get out of the habit of using something that may or may not work and don't spread those habits to people who don't know any better. "type" is specified by POSIX and required to show what the current shell will do. Use it.
