I don't know, I do know it's a symlink to test in many linux distros.
I personally hate it though, since it obscures the fact that you are
calling a program ("test" is much clearer in this sense thatn "[").
Btw, in bash they are _both_ builtins (don't ask me why, I wonder when
they are going to make "emacs" a builtin too), but even then I believe
"test" indicates clearer what's going on than "[".
