Right, however, while ls is frequently aliased (my ubuntu box has
alias ls='ls --color=auto' in /etc/skel/.bashrc by default, but that's
not an issue in this case), I think aliasing test is just crazy.
Yeah, it's possible, but if we go down that route, then we should also
worry about the [ builtin being aliased:
$ if [ -r nonexisting ] ; then echo found ; fi
$ alias [='echo using aliased ['
$ if [ -r nonexisting ] ; then echo found ; fi
using aliased [ -r nonexisting ]
found
$
