Well *that's* portable :-/
Just what I get for scanning the man page, and assuming
consistency. Even if I *had* noticed those "[[" and "]]" in the
man page, I'd probably have written them off as more botched
troff.
Thanks for pointing it out. Of course now I have to try to
forget it in the interest of portable shell-scripting, just like
the rest of the ksh goodies....
