More important than either of those concerns, I think, is the ability
to write portable scripts.  The differences between systems already
cause enough headaches.  We don't need any new incompatibilities.  So
if this were to be implemented, it should not affect -name; a new
predicate should be invented, so old code depending on the old,
literal interpretation of braces with -name will still work.
