Yep, I also found that when looking into this. It's unforunate, as it
implies you can't use `-exec {} ... +` with e.g. ln, mv or cp, but oh
well.
(also, nitpicking, 'an argument containing the two characters "{}"'
includes an argument like "hh}hh{hh", which I'm pretty sure is not
what they mean)

I'm not sure I agree. I make sure I do not treat it special unless
it's at the end of the argument to 'exec'. Can you elaborate on what
you mean here?
Thanks!
Paul
