Summary0001939: find: -perm: add / modifier
DescriptionGNU find, busybox find, FreeBSD find, they all support the (+ and) / modifier to the -perm primary, defined as "primary evaluates to true if any of the bits in the mode are set in the file’s mode bits".
The implementation is easy (the "-" modifier is standardized in POSIX for long, and supported by all implementations), and it seems to be needed at times.
Desired ActionOn page 2942, line 98247-9, change

  if onum is prefixed by a <hyphen-minus>, the
  primary shall evaluate as true if at least all of the bits specified in onum are set.
  In both cases, the behavior is unspecified when onum exceeds 07777.
 
to

  if onum is prefixed by a <hyphen-minus>, the
  primary shall evaluate as true if at least all of the bits specified in onum are set;
  if it is prefixed with <slash>, the primary shall evaluate to true of any of the bits are set.
  In all three cases, the behavior is unspecified when onum exceeds 07777.
