Alist for transforming shell names to what they really are.

Use this where the name of the executable doesn't correspond to the type of shell it really is. Keys are regular expressions matched against the full path of the interpreter. (For backward compatibility, keys may also be symbols, which are matched against the interpreter's basename. The values are symbols naming the shell.
