The `profile_d sh` command is run for all shells that execute that file;
looking at the code that appears to be at least Bash, Korn, Z and Posh.
I'm looking for `profile_d bash` and the like -- fzf's implementation
for Bash isn't going to be appropriate to run for other shells.

Okay, I'd assumed Fish would use /etc/profile, but if not I'll look at
finding some alternative for that.
