But... there literally *is* a real standard for this.
<https://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/utilities/find.html>
-depth
The primary shall always evaluate as true; it shall cause descent
of the directory hierarchy to be done so that all entries in a
directory are acted on before the directory itself. If a -depth
primary is not specified, all entries in a directory shall be acted
on after the directory itself. If any -depth primary is specified,
it shall apply to the entire expression even if the -depth primary
would not normally be evaluated.
If the POSIX standard isn't real enough, then I don't know what is.
