No the test utility or it's alias [ is designed as a normal external command
like every other command line tool in UNIX.
instead of
x='='
if [ -n "$x" ]; then
true
fi
you can write
x='='
if /usr/bin/test -n "$x"; then # or maybe /bin/test
true
fi
The quotes aren't passed to it like to every other command line tool.
There are 2 Arguments, argument 1 is -n and argument 2 is =, that are all
informations that are passed to test, no quotes.
