---------------------------------------------------------------------- 
IMO, this bug should be split into

- one to add support for -nt, -ot, -ef, <, >, ==, =~ (the latter so far
only implemented in zsh and yash AFAIK) to test/[, that can be addressed
now.
- one to implement [[...]]

IMO, [[...]] has no benefit other than cosmetic over [/test and adds only
complications as it comes with its own specific language whose syntax
varies from shell to shell. -ef, -nt, -ot are useful (care to be taken of
the cases where files are not stat()able though). <, > as well given that
expr is unusable (and IMO should be deprecated) and awk's awk --
'BEGIN{exit(!(ARGV[1]"" < ""ARGV[2]))}' a bit cumbersome (though not that
much when wrapping that in a function).
