find --version
find (GNU findutils) 4.10.0

I have a folder with the files "a" and "b". I want to delete the files named
"a".
I run
`find -delete -name a`
and everything in the folder is gone.

This is *kinda* dumb.

I don't see anything saying that expression order matters like this in the
help? It's just `[expression]`.
