[bug #13041] -I (-i) and -L shouldn't be exclusive

[James Youngman]

Update of bug #13041 (project findutils):

             Assigned to:                    None => jay                    
                 Summary: -i and - shouldn't be exclusive => -I (-i) and -L
shouldn't be exclusive

Follow-up Comment #3:

On *BSD, 

yes x | head -10 | xargs -I Z -L 10 echo foo Z bar

produces:

foo x x x x x bar
foo x x x x x bar

However, GNU findutils currently assumes that {} (or in this case Z) expands
to just one argument.

Fixing this is probably going to mean a significant code change and I'm trying
to concentrate on producing a stable release.  I will make the release and
then work on this bug.
