While we are on this: wondering about the difference about -h and -L I found 
that `man test` outputs on OS X:

"     -h file       True if file exists and is a symbolic link.  This operator 
is retained for compatibility with pre-
                   vious versions of this program. Do not rely on its 
existence; use -L instead."

while on Linux `man test` just states that it's the same. Is there any 
preference which one should be used for the bash builtin?
