Stop trying to deprecate "test -L" in favour of "test -h" (or vice versa).
...
It's hopeless because POSIX requires both since Issue 6 (2001).
Both always worked on OpenBSD, no matter which base system shell was used.
According to research done by jsg@, it seems likely that actually,
"test -L" has precedence over "test -h" by about one year:
v8 (Feb 1985) had -L, SunOS 3.0 (Feb 1986) had -h; but SVR4 (1989)
already had both, so we are talking about 35 years of petrification.

test: fix description of -t: it has no default
...
-t always requires the fd number as argument, there's no default. With
only one argument -t is equivalent to `test -n -t' and so banally always
true.
