Hmm, yes, you're right.   That suggests that -depth must be a System-V
invention (POSIX wouldn't have added a spec for an undocumented internal

I don't have any System-V (particularly not ancient) sources available
to check - I did verify that -depth is not in System-III though (or at
least is not documented in it.)
