Pros:
- faster than parsing clear-text source file.

The parentheses even in the one-criteria case is so that if one adds

You are used to write:

(directories we want to prune, in which we don't want to find
anything). C'est subtil... Il y a effectivement un -print implicite à
la fin, qui fait que la commande habituelle sans print fonctionne
bien, mais dès que l'on introduit d'autres commandes dans le lot (le
