Detail

Order of precedence

There is an order of precedence for which commands are looked up:

1. test and pipe functions because they alter the behavior of the compiler
2. Aliases - defined via alias. All aliases are global
3. murex functions - defined via function. All functions are global
4. private functions - defined via private. Private's cannot be global and are scoped only to the module or source that defined them. For example, You cannot call a private function from the interactive command line
5. variables (dollar prefixed) - declared via set or let
6. auto-globbing prefix: @g
7. murex builtins
8. external executable files
