Details:
It would be great if find could support searching for files based on the
presence/absence of extended attributes (xattrs).
The only way I could find to do this currently is via -exec, as suggested in
https://unix.stackexchange.com/q/162359 and
https://unix.stackexchange.com/q/132795
For reference, OS X find supports xattr search with the tests:
-xattr
True if the file has any extended attributes.
-xattrname name
True if the file has an extended attribute with the specified name.

Thanks for considering,
Kevin
