I think it is probably a case of feature bloat, as you can already
achieve the same using existing standard tools; for example:
find dir -name filetokeep -o -exec rm {} +
which will remove all files in a hierarchy except those excluded by the
left side of the -o predicate (in this case, preserving the file named
"filetokeep").
