+
+ While evaluating the expression, the |v:fname| variable is set to the
+ argument of the |:find| command.
+
+ The expression is evaluated only once per |:find| command invocation.
+ The expression can process all the directories specified in 'path'.
+
+ The expression may be evaluated for command-line completion as well,
+ in which case the |v:cmdcomplete| variable will be set to |v:true|,
+ otherwise it will be set to |v:false|.
+
+ If a match is found, the expression should return a |List| containing
+ one or more file names. If a match is not found, the expression
+ should return an empty List.
+
+ If any errors are encountered during the expression evaluation, an
+ empty List is used as the return value.
