                             ^grep-find-template, right?

Looks good.

Not exactly: the change (as described above) will affect all versions 
everywhere.

What is special about "old versions of non-GNU 'find'", is that the 
previous scheme (ensuring directory names end in a slash) created 
problems when used together with them.

We might also want to mention macOS specifically, otherwise the change 
sounds a bit ridiculous (why do we go out of the way to be compatible 
with ancient versions of 'find'?)
