The above example was bogus and unnecessary; looking at it more closely,
the test would return true when the 'warn' array contains 1 or more
items (missing commands), which would cause the die command to be
invoked and the script to exit.  The first test handling isn't modified,
so it'll chain though the second part the same as it does now.

I hope that's a better explanation.
