Is there any way you can list dot & non-dot files whose names share
a pattern in one pass:

| $ tree -a /tmp/z
|   /tmp/z/
|   ├── bk
|   ├── .bk
|   ├── .bkn
|   └── bkx

Or move, copy, delete, etc.

I tend to do stuff like:

| $ find /tmp/z -name '*bk*' -ls
| $ mv $(find /tmp/z1 -name '*bk*') /tmp/z2 .. etc.

But that's hardly elegant and since things can get rather complicated,
it could even prove dangerous when you're doing something potentially
destructive.

P.S. Just following up on the existing thread but this hardly belongs to
this mailing list. Is there a help-coreutils for issues that are not
related to a suspected bug?
