Of course, that assumes that the shell doesn't have other
problems with its parsing:
$ zsh -c '[ 1 -ne 0 ] && echo correct'
correct
$ zsh -c '/bin/[ 1 -ne 0 ] && echo correct'
zsh: bad pattern: /bin/[
$
(Found by accident whilst looking into the original problem - I haven't,
but probably should, report it as a bug in zsh 3.0.5).
