* how do i search for where an alias is defined?
`whence -v my_function`: works
my_function is a shell function from /home/timothee/.zshrc

`whence -v my_alias`: doesn't do that:
my_alias is an alias for ...
Could that be implemented? What's a workaround? (besides grep of course)

* why not also include line info?
