test has filetest -a but man page doesn't list it |

Hello coreutils maintainers,
test in coreutils 8.30 supports the unary -a test (is the same as -e) but
this is not listed on the manpage (in bash 4.4.12 "help test" does list
it).
I can imagine good reasons to kick out the unary -a but I think it
then should be kicked out of program and man page (or it should be listed
in the man page, maybe as deprecated).
Best regards,
Martin

Many thanks for the tests. It passes on SLES12 as well.
Pushed with the change in 'test-N.sh' to +/-2 days for the vfat case.
Marking this as done.
Have a nice day,
