Ah, thanks for pointing that out. We definitely don't want to require POSIX 1003.1-2024, so I'll adjust that in the testsuite. I do think it's helpful for zsh to support as much of POSIX as possible, since that makes it easier for things like editors and scripts running over SSH to work properly. But it sounds like y'all are already planning on adding this to the test operator, so it sounds like we're good. -- brian m. carlson (they/them) Toronto, Ontario, CA
