Details:
A couple more misleading messages, even with your latest patches in regards
to bug 15195:
currently:
$ find \( -true -a ! \)
find: invalid expression; you have too many ')'
nicer (similar to "find \( -true -a !"):
$ find \( -true -a ! \)
find: expected an expression after '!'
currently:
$ find \(
find: invalid expression; empty parentheses are not allowed.
nicer, option a (similar to "find \( -true"):
$ find \(
find: invalid expression; I was expecting to find a ')' somewhere but did not
see one.
nicer, option b (similar to "find !"):
$ find \(
find: expected an expression after '('
