In other words:
test $(cat file) = file &&

Is there a guarantee that file has a single word?  Can it be empty?
Can it contain "foo bar\n"?

It can, but it should not ;-). But yes, this will need to be quoted as
well to be safe. Whoops.

Yup.  I see that existing test (this script is ancient, isn't it?)
has the same issue of using backticks and not quoting sufficiently.

Perhaps we would want a clean-up-and-modernise step before this
patch to reduce patch noise.

Thanks.
