Which folder is non-existent?

I'm sure the "[" does exist.  I've created folders like that or "?"
by fat-fingering.

They don't call him DooFuS for nothing.

Actually, I retract that for now. The "[" file is actually an ELF binary,
presumably duplicating the functionality of "test".

And /usr/bin/X11/X11/... is just a soft link to ".".

So Doof is taking advantage of a quirk in the file system to "denounce"
a "GUI".

This behavior, I verified using bash.
