Also we really should say that the call will issue TCONF here, because
it's not clear that it would.

We are falling back to which if command is not available here?

Are you aware of any shell that is lacking command?

Also we should probably add return 0 at the end of the function, as it
is the code is correct, since the return value would be return value of
the last executed line, which is guaranteed to be 0 because of the
|| return 1 but it's kind of confusing to omit it.

Here as well, explicit return 0 will help code readability a bit.
