+### Caveats:
+
+On macOS 10.13.6, command -v appears to take multiple parameters:
+
+```
+# grep is in /usr/bin/grep
+# foobar is not in path
+#
+$ command -v -- grep foobar; echo $?
+0
+```
+
+but succeeds (with exit code 0) if *any* command exists. In the above
+example, it should have failed and exited with 1 unless *all* commands
+exist.
+
+An alternative is:
+
+$ hash <file1> <file2>
+
+Which observes the standard behaviour of failures.
