-readable, -writable, -executable
Matches files which are readable, writable and executable,

other permissions artefacts which the -perm test ignores. This
test makes use of the access(2) system call

Sadly, it *is* a standard argument, just with 4.3+, and I was under
(the mistaken) impression that every semi-new distro shipped with a
updated version of find. All well. We can do the checking php side.
