Force of habit, I'm used to writing one liners that work, or should
work, across multiple unix-like operating systems and versions.

For example I still use "find blah -print", even "-print" is the default
action on most unix-like operating systems find.

IIRC that one liner above, should work on just about any unix-like
OS I've come across, excluding some or all versions of Solaris, because
Solaris "du" doesn't have "-x" option.
