Having searched a little further I have been able to locate a few scripts that 
uses this in my bin folders. Common for those scripts are that they are sh 
scripts and not bash scripts. Looking at 'man sh' you find no -z or -n but 
they are in 'man bash'.

I think it's safe to say that .bashrc is a bash script and to make it even 
more amusing (or whatever) Kevin does use both -z and -n a little further 
down in his script.
