Hi,

this is the second version of my patch series that replaces all uses of
`test <expr> -o/a <expr`.

Changes compared to v1:

    - I've expanded a bit on why we want to do these conversions in the
      first place in the first commit message.

    - Dropped a needless subshell and added missing quoting while at it.

    - Explained why we need to decompose the asserts in the second patch
      into two asserts.

Thanks!

Patrick

    +    While not all of the converted instances can cause ambiguity, it is
    +    worth getting rid of all of them regardless:
