Yes, in the latest round that I queued yesterday, it is clear that
the use of non-POSIX "test" comes after the original condition
followed by "||", and even if "test" may sometimes be a builtin, I
do not think we will trigger an error at parse-time [*1*], so it is
a safe change.
Thanks.
[Footnote]
*1* I recall we had one interesting breakage of a script that tried
to do what is essentially:
if are we running a shell with that funky feature?
then
shell commands that use the funky feature
else
portable POSIX shell feature
fi
but the part that were supposed to be excluded from the
"portable" codepath by being between "then" and "else" still
were parsed and caused a parse error.
