I understand and agree with your intentions, but I dislike to invent a
new, totally non-standard command.

In UNIX, we would use the "test" command for such purposes.  Would it
not make sense to implement this feature in a more compatible way?  we
have "test", soo, so we should be able to plug it in there?

What do you think?

Best regards,

Wolfgang Denk
