Or, worded a little nicer, POSIX states that it is implementation-defined
how find behaves when -exec is handed an argument containing more than
just {}. In other words, the above example is exploiting a non-portable
implementation-specific behavior, but it is not wrong to do that, unless
you care about portability to other platforms.
