The behavior of *find* with types concerning loops is:
1.
[https://www.gnu.org/software/findutils/manual/html_node/find_html/Type.html#index-_002dtype
section "Test: *-type c*"]
* Nothing. The behavior of *find -type c* for loops is undefined.
2.
[https://www.gnu.org/software/findutils/manual/html_node/find_html/Type.html#index-_002dxtype
section "Test: *-xtype c*"]
* "For broken symbolic links (or _loops_), *‘-xtype’* behaves like
*‘-type’* does." (go to: 1.)
