Is this exposed to fix issues with certain file systems,
or just in case there may be issues, or support easily
testing find without the leaf optimization?
I see Jim said the current FTS implementation
would make -noleaf a no-op there:

cheers,
Pádraig.
p.s. I see that find does a stat per file on XFS,
while d_type can be used to distinguish dirs there.
On XFS DT_DIR is set for dirs and DT_UNKNOWN otherwise.
I wonder is there some optimization we could do for that case.
