Ok may be my wording is not correct, but yet it require a good reading
compile to get it right, first read all about [[ that is at the top of the
man (at 5%), then get the 'CONDITIONAL EXPRESSIONS' distingo between [[ vs
[ (at 40%) and finally get to 'test expr' (at 92%) to discover the whole
thing about -a vs -e (same for other options), a little heads up when quick
reading directly at 'CONDITIONAL EXPRESSIONS' would not hurt and not
jeopardise the docco semantic I guess?
