Description
Related problem
looking at the docs for where (via help where), it's not clear how to figure out what the condition syntax is.
Describe the solution you'd like
A pointer to "condition sytanx" inside the shell (notably stuff in help operators), so that I can see how to write an expression I'm thinking of in the shell docs as-is.
Describe alternatives you've considered
There's obviously the documentation on the website which is helpful enough. But given that we have this "condition" type described in where, it feels logical to have something to point to from ther.

Research direction
Start by reading the built-in help shown by help where and compare it with help operators, especially the description of condition syntax. Done means the where help points users to the relevant condition or operator documentation so they can write expressions in the shell.
