Geoff Nixon	60808a4820	Enhance/fix isatty using command test. ... Presently, `isatty` only works on a handful of keywords. Here it is rewritten to be able to take any path, device or fd number as an argument, and eliminates errors printed to stdout. Per discussion in #1228, using `builtin test -c` within a pipe to test special file descriptors is not viable, so this implementation specifcially uses `command test`. Additionally, a note has been added to the documentation of `test` regarding this potential aberration from the expected output of the test utility under the 'Standards' section.	2014-01-28 11:14:54 -08:00
