Yes, `[` is preferable for portability and they'd behave the same in this case. I consciously chose to use `[[` because that's what all the other comparisons in that script use. (I think I noted that in the commit message, maybe). I think there's value in consistency, and not enough value of `[` over `[[` to justify changing all the other lines.
