 It just seems odd that
 {{{
 port provides `which port`
 }}}
 should return:
 {{{
 /opt/local/bin/port is not provided by a MacPorts port.
 }}}
 I mean, technically, that's true, it isn't technically provided by a port,
 but still, shouldn't it at least say something about that file being part
 of base?
