Nope; bug in your brain. As soon as you start using -o / -or, you need to
deal with precedence.
find . \( -name '*.[ch]' -o -name '*.cs' \) -print
If you omit the predicate, GNU find assumes -print... but this interacts
oddly with precedence, and leads to all the earlier -or-s having no action
associated and only the last (in your case -name '*.h') getting -print
applied to it.
