Interesting, I did not know that.  It seems, though, that the
statement in find-lisp.el

  This is a very generalized form of find.

is not quite accurate.  The power of the shell command find (at
least: the GNU version, which is the only one I know) lies in its
many bells and whistles, whereas find-lisp provides only a subset of
these features.
