what shell does this?

  Apparently zsh replaces =cmd with cmd's absolute path. TIL.

    Yes, very useful to bypass aliases if need be, quickly edit a script ("vi =my-script"), etc. I don't think bash has it; you need to use where/whence/which/command/whatever (I can never remember, why are there so many?!)

      Hack: \command instead of command is very unlikely to be aliased, so should work fine.

        This is a very useful hack, thanks. Unfortunately, my defensive scripting instincts do not allow me to use it on the "serious" situations.
