Really? I admit I haven't checked lately, but I'm sure that as long
ago as the late '80s, [ had been made an internal command even in
standard Bourne shell. I remember using machines where it wasn't, and
indeed even on many modern machines, /usr/bin/[ exists as a fallback
just in case. But I'd be surprised if you could find a machine where
it wasn't internal (that said, I've been surprised by such things
before, and no doubt will be again).

Pah! Some people just have no sense of beauty :-)
