I've been an SA for like 10 years and never knew that until now. When I think type, I think DOS / windows cat command. Seems to still work in powershell: 

PS C:\Users\Dubs> get-Command type,cat,where,gm,help,get-help

CommandType     Name                       Version    Source
-----------     ----                       -------    ------
Alias           type -> Get-Content
Alias           cat -> Get-Content
Alias           where -> Where-Object
Alias           gm -> Get-Member
Function        help
Cmdlet          Get-Help                  3.0.0.0    Microsoft.PowerSh

Looks like zsh and csh alias to whence -v.
