Severity: wishlist

Mention 'before find's "-delete" operator (or switch?) was added':
Here is an efficient way to delete all files that haven't been
modified for at least a week:
find . -mtime +7 -print | perl -nle unlink
This is faster than using the -exec switch of find because you
don't have to start a process on every filename found. It does
suffer from the bug of mishandling newlines in pathnames, which
you can fix if you follow the example under -0.
