Correct. I also suspect that we want to add test_path_is_executable
helper next to test_path_is_{file,dir,missing} helpers and list it
in t/README. One downside of your approach is that the output from
the command is only in $shpath and cannot be observed easily in the
$TRASH_DIRECTORY after the test fails, but with such a helper we can
report the problematic path when the expectation fails.
Thanks.
