Well find will get on your case if you mix paths and predicates
anyway. So they should have done what sed and awk do and made
expression a string passed either as first parameter or as an
argument to the an -e switch. Because find is a little language
every bit as much as sed, if not awk. It just quite doesn't want
to think of itself that way.
