Indeed, I confirm that
  - under bash, "type -p foo" and "type foo" produce the same exit code
    for various values of foo,
  - POSIX specifies the 'type' command only without '-p'

Therefore I have applied your patch.

Note: The suffix "(tiny change)" in the ChangeLog entry is not meant to
minimize your contribution; it indicates that the patch does not require
a written copyright assignment from you.

Thanks!

Bruno
