>From man find:
 The first argument that begins with `-', `(', `)', `,', or
 `!' is taken to be the beginning of  the  expression;  any
 arguments before it are paths to search, and any arguments
 after it are the rest of the expression.  If no paths  are
 given, the current directory is used.  If no expression is
 given, the expression `-print' is used.
