>Description:

	find(1) apparently lacks any way to detect snapshot files:

	# find / -flags snap
	find: -flags: snap: illegal flags string
	# find / -flags snapshot
	find: -flags: snapshot: illegal flags string

	(Call the police, I did something illegal!)

>How-To-Repeat:

	as above

>Fix:

	Maybe teach libutil string_to_flags to accept `snap' just like
	flags_to_string yields it.

	Make sure to update
	https://wiki.NetBSD.org/tutorials/how_to_use_snapshots/
	if this is fixed.

 Same as in flags_to_string(3).  Not really sure why, but let's keep it
