Would it be possible or not unduly difficult to change
'find' to recognize/allow a null path ("") specifically
to allow find to start at the current directory (much like
not specifying any paths), BUT also suppress the prepending
of "./" at the beginning of every result?
Almost every usage of "./" in a find is, at some point,
followed by a stripping of "./" -- somewhere, in subsequent
use.
This would allow a backwards compatible way of forcing
a null-path onto the front of returned values.
Possible?
Thanks!
