There's been enough explanation. Just another thing:

[ (AKA test) is a shell builtin in many shells today. But there still
*might* be shells around for which this isn't (yet) the case.

It's probably the same rationale for there being a kill binary
even though most shells implement kill as builtin today.

Kind regards,

Hannah.
