To quote the FreeBSD commit message where this is from:
--------------->
find: Exit if there is an unknown option.
Ignoring the parameter with the unknown options is unlikely to be what was
intended.
Example:
find -n .
Note that things like
find -n
already caused an exit, equivalent to "find" by itself.
