I didn't mean to start an alternatives discussion.

But in defense of which, you don't need more than this 1 line to handle 
all of the above:

ls -l $(which -a curl | grep -v =)

-a checks aliases and paths.  The grep excludes any alias definitions 
from the ls (their expansions follow and are listed)

If you're not feeding the output into ls (or something else), which -a 
suffices to tell a human what's going on.

Enjoy.
