but zsh has "rehash"? for as long as I remember.

Bah, you’re right! I got it backwards, it’s zsh that has rehash, bash does not. And hash -r works in both.

I guess I’ve been using zsh longer than I thought, because I learned about rehash first, then made the switch to hash -r later. I started using zsh 14 years ago, and bash 20+ years ago, so my brain assumed “I learned about rehash first” must have been back when I was using bash. zsh is still “that new thing” in my head.

If there is something nice that one has and one does not have. zsh is the one that has it.

Counterpoint, /dev/udp pseudo-devices in bash.
