This has been discussed before. The final conclusion was that we wanted
wish to print the fact that it is named with a version number, and a list of
versions that is installed. Here is a shell script I sent to the lists
previously:
---- Tear here ---
#!/bin/sh
echo "In FreeBSD, wish is named with a version number. This is because wish has" 1>&2
echo "been incompatible between versions, and we want our ports to keep working." 1>&2
echo 1>&2
echo "On your system, the wish is installed under these names:" 1>&2
for name in $(/bin/ls $(echo $PATH | sed 's/:/ /g') | egrep '^wish[0-9]+\.[0-
9]+$')
do
echo $name 1>&2
done
exit 0
--- Tear here ---

I still think this would be the best solution.
