[bug #51506] Better support for data processing with basenames

[Bernhard Voelker]

I heavily doubt that abbreviating the 14 bytes of "-printf '%f\n'"
on the command line to a new action like e.g. -printbase makes _any_
difference in any case (neither in the trivial case with an empty
directory nor when diving into many hundred-thousands of subdirectories).

Please point to the piece of code which you consider being inefficient.
A patch for a new test case demonstrating the deficiency ("test driven
development") would be much appreciated.
