That's a valid point.

@Dmitry So does emacs revert to the old function if grep/find is not found
on the system? What happens if the system doesn't have either of those two.

For example, on Windows, (executable-find "grep") returns nil and
(exectuable-find "find") returns path to the Windows' find.exe, not GNU
find.
