I know, I'm not (currently) talking about these. What puzzles me is
that the three tests in test-ob-sh get defined and run even though the
feature ob-sh is not available. It may be that this gets somehow
subverted by having the other tests unguarded, but I can't see how.

Specifically a shell that is more or less POSIX compatible... even
though even tcsh passes all tests. :-)

That would be preferrable for tests which really depend on a shell being
available.

And this would be preferred for tests which should always be run without
making any assumptions on the environment.
