For that case, it doesn't really help, because the filename is needed in
a redirection. And if you need the filename in more arguments, xargs is
a bit silly too, because it *has* the option -I, but that has the
completely arbitrary limitation of 255 characters which can't be changed
using another option, and 255 is less than PATH_MAX.
