    Hmmm. That would be nice, but it seems to be BSD-centric. I don't see the
    ``-delete'' option in any version of find I have around, certainly not in
    the find from gnu:
            gfind . -name xxxxyyyyzzz -delete
            gfind: invalid predicate `-delete'

    I find using options like this leads to portability problems.

``Are we at last brought to such a humiliating and debasing degradation,
that we cannot be trusted with arms for our own defense? Where is the
difference between having our arms in our own possession and under our own
direction, and having them under the management of Congress? If our defense
be the real object of having those arms, in whose hands can they be trusted
with more propriety, or equal safety to us, as in our own hands?''
    -- Patrick Henry June 9, 1788, in the Virginia Convention on the
    ratification of the Constitution.
