man test (or info test)

It already exists and it's rather important.  There's a long history
of people compiling their first program (gcc -o test test.c), running
"test", and it not behaving at all like their program is supposed to:

  "Help!  What's wrong?!?"

  "Use ./test instead!  Grumble, mumble, !@#$%&* newbies."
