Re: extension of file-test primitives?

Yhea I just learned that now, it's been at least a decade since I looked 
at the posix spec on test.

Should probably update the bash help to reflect that

as help bash (in my version at least) only says

      EXPR1 -a EXPR2 True if both expr1 AND expr2 are true.
      EXPR1 -o EXPR2 True if either expr1 OR expr2 is true.

The main oses I work on are XSI conform.
