_______________________________________________________
Details:
In the documentation of findutils, section "2.1.2 Full Name Patterns", about
the '-(i)regex' test:
"There are several varieties of regular expressions; by default this test uses
POSIX basic regular expressions, but this can be changed with the option
'-regextype'."
While about the '-regextype' option:
"If this option is not given, GNU Emacs regular expressions are assumed."
Unless GNU Emacs and POSIX basic regular expressions are the same this looks
like a contradiction.
