find | xargs | tar | gzip##ENDCODEBLOCK##
 should work.\\

    tar -z DIR##ENDCODEBLOCK##

    xz --block-list##ENDCODEBLOCK##
     comes along and you also want ##STARTCODEBLOCK##
    find -name '*.png'##ENDCODEBLOCK##

    * **Agree**: Programs should work well together.
    * **Agree**: Try to design the output of one program to be the input of another 
    * **Revise**: {-Avoid-} {+Factor+} interactive input.
    * **Revise**: {-Avoid-} {+Factor+} feature creep.
    * **Disagree**: {-Do one thing and do it well-} {+What "one" "thing" "well" is is **domain-specific**.+}
    * **Disagree**: {-Use text as an interface-} {+The choice of interfaces (types) is **domain-specific**.+}
