When using `@which` julia does not report the full file, but only the file name.  
Hence I cannot jump to the source code. I have installed julia via standard binary installer on nixos.

```julia
julia> @which show("hi")
show(x) in Base at show.jl:392

```

Does someone know how to fix this so that it outputs the full path?
