+## Remove superfluous `(..)` around test command.
+
+### Problematic code:
+
+```sh
+([ "$x" -gt 0 ]) && foo
+```
+
+### Correct code:
+
+```sh
+[ "$x" -gt 0 ] && foo
+```
+
+### Rationale:
+
+You are wrapping a single test command in `(..)`, creating an unnecessary subshell. This serves no purpose, but is dramatically slower:
+
+```
+$ i=0; time while ( [ "$i" -lt 10000 ] ); do i=$((i+1)); done
+real    0m6.998s
+user    0m3.453s
+sys     0m3.464s
+
+$ i=0; time while [ "$i" -lt 10000 ]; do i=$((i+1)); done
+real    0m0.055s
+user    0m0.054s
+sys     0m0.001s
+```
+
+Just delete the surrounding `(..)` since they serve no purpose and only slows the script down.
+
+### Exceptions:
+
+None.
