Of course that makes sense for the "==" and "!=" cases. But is that
true even for the "=" case? For the "=" case I thought it was
"STRING1 = STRING2" and not "STRING = PATTERN".
`=' and `==' are always equivalent. When used in the test/[ command,
they match strings. In the [[ conditional command, they match patterns.
