I've begun exploration.
It is so close to what I want that "I can taste it" ;/
The primary thing I needed to add to your example was "--dirs-only".

My current problem is a perverse combination "length of directory names" 
and choices program designers faced due to "finite screen width".

I get some silly/inane results/errors when attempting to specify a 
maximum directory depth. How do I specify a depth of 2 or 3? "There is 
no joy in Mudville, I've struck out searching for examples." {apologies 
to Ernest Lawrence ;}

Guidance please ;/
