I think ``Once a utility has been searched for and found [...], an
implementation may remember its location and need not search for the
utility again unless the PATH variable has been the subject of an
assignment'' pretty much covers it. `command -p command_name' doesn't
alter `PATH', and the shell may or may not remember the location of
`command_name' obtained using the default value for `PATH'.

Yeah, it'd be better if the feature in question were documented.
