It isn't the syntax that prevents me from using it.
It is the absymal performance. -exec forks a shell
for every line output by find. It is incredibly slow.
...minutia, yes, but actually it forks and execs a shell.
Most Unix derivations use a vfork() for this, which is essentially
free, the exec() is not on the other hand...
