Earlier, we saw:
Ideally we want this test to be super robust: e.g. if it runs the
command but from a different directory, we still want the test to fail,
and if it runs the command but using exec instead of a shell, we still
want the test to fail.
and this one (i.e. signal that it is a command by prefixing with
'!', and then have a single command that would fail whether it is
run via run_command() with or without shell) would satisfy that
criteria, I would think.

Or just take a deep breath before making a knee-jerk reaction public
and instead double-check before sending things out ;-)
Will queue. Thanks.
