The == operator as an alias to = is not POSIX. This doesn't actually
matter for the execution of the script, because it only runs when the
shell is bash. However, it trips up test-lint, so it's nicer to use
the standard form.
OK, my knee-jerk reaction was "this is only for bash" as you said,
but the test-lint part I agree with.
But then test-lint _ought_ to also catch the use of "local" in the
ideal world, so perhaps in the longer term we would need to treat
this bash-only script differently from others anyway???
True. I didn't really think about wider implications; I just noticed
that there was an easy-to-fix complaint from test-lint :-)
