Incorrect handling of was starting issue:
test '!' = whatever
test '(' = whatever
During source review i happened to rewrite all `test.c` with 50% text
size off, with linux's euidaccess() instead of broken stat()+bash-magic.
I've wrote "[!] 2-3 arg ops" openly. Now i have to reinvent "( -a -o )"
stuff. And i just thought, it doesn't pay much. So far i didn't see
convincing technical counter examples for my proposition A. That is
the point.
