I had read this line, but originally interpreted it only to mean that the
"expression" argument, consisting of the filters and flags, has this guarantee —
a strict order of filters/expressions may be helpful for careful application of
any side-effects like -delete. Looking again I think the man page is a little
unclear here.

Thankfully I don't care about this!
