And the emacs comparison isn't nonsensical, it's just an exaggeration; one could argue to builtin emacs with the exact same arguments as mainly used for "test" and "[".
No. You can call test from a script 1000 times a second. There's a need for officiency. You only run emacs once. The line between the two is clear. test/[ is a language construct, so it's natural to be inside the language itself. As for emacs, well, I don't it is a part of the shell ;-)
