Would it be equally a valid fix to use "=" instead of "==", or would

well enough with "=", we should prefer that.
Yes, `[` is preferable for portability and they'd behave the same in
this case. I consciously chose to use `[[` because that's what all the
other comparisons in that script use. (I think I noted that in the
commit message, maybe). I think there's value in consistency, and not
enough value of `[` over `[[` to justify changing all the other lines.
