Is there a simpler way of doing the following?

alias ls=${${(f)"$(whence -p {g,}ls)"}[1]}' --color'
I need to select gls, if thatÿÿs whatÿÿs installed, otherwise ls. (Thecode above assumes that at least ls is installed, which isnÿÿt aproblem.)

===================

whence gls && alias ls="gls --color"
