mapfile it awesome, but for getting find(1) results into an array you
should continue to use a read -rd '' loop. read -d is somewhat
portable, and mapfile does not

I don't believe any shell can currently read nul-delimited input into
an array without looping. It's been suggested to add a delimiter to
mapfile. It looks like mapfile uses zgetline() to wrap around calls to
zread() and doesn't support any delimiter. read(1) on the other hand
uses one of the zread

i've seen this construct duplicated so many times :(. i wish we had a native
option for it. maybe something like:
