Those would be good enhancements, yes.
What kind of syntax would you consider? I'd expect something like:
if $USER -cmp "steve"
if $UID -lt 1000
It would also be nice to have backtick support, such that
"if `uname -a` -cmp "2.6.17" ..
Adding such support would be easy, once the syntax was defined.

No, I've not seen that. Thanks.
