are the same because the -o has lower precendence. My version is
effectively (name ".*" and do nothing) or (name "*.java" and print).
Short-circuit evaluation means the second expression isn't tried if
the first matches.
Yours is a bit more direct (and readable), but requires more escaped
magical characters... Hmm, come to think of it yours is much cleaner.
