Square bracket as an alias for test has been around at least since
1976, when the original Bourne shell was written. It used to be a
hard link, /bin/[, not a shell builtin, which is why obsolete Unix
programmers write it as "case $? in;0);;*)echo ...;;esac", to save a
fork/exec.

Oops, I slipped into nostalgic old fart mode. Sorry...
