 |    |  You can always use parentheses:
 |  
 |  They're not immune from problems either.   Consider:
 |  
 |      test \( = \)
 |  
 |  true or false?   Either answer is possible (and defensible) and I'm
 |  pretty sure both have been given by different implementations.
 
 Sure... By this you mean write:
 
        test \( $a = $b \)
 
 instead:
 
        test \( "$a" = "$b" \)
 
 right? I agree though that parentheses can lose if you are not careful.
