Compound conditions are evaluated in the following order of precedence:
Innermost parentheses are evaluated first. Next come unary tests such
as ``EXISTS``, ``COMMAND``, and ``DEFINED``. Then binary tests such as
``EQUAL``, ``LESS``, ``LESS_EQUAL``, ``GREATER``, ``GREATER_EQUAL``,
``STREQUAL``, ``STRLESS``, ``STRLESS_EQUAL``, ``STRGREATER``,
``STRGREATER_EQUAL``, ``VERSION_EQUAL``, ``VERSION_LESS``,
