find: Support --print0
It would be nice if command-specific options were supported. The first
difficulty is that which command is being called is not known until after
getopt; but that could be worked around by finding the first non-dashed
parameter. Storing the settings without putting them in the annex monad is
the next difficulty; it could perhaps be handled by making the seek stage
pass applicable settings into the start stage (and from there on to perform
as needed). But that still leaves a problem, what data type to use to
represent the options between getopt and seek?
