There's no discussion on this issue since 2 years, and the last
comment was about leaving that sentence as it is.

Therefore, I'm hereby closing this as WONTFIX.

Of course, this issue can be re-opened once one thinks to
continue the discussion or one comes up with a better proposal.

That sentence refers to "Both ...", i.e, also to the terminating ";" which has AFAIK always has to be either escaped or quoted.
Therefore, I'm 60:40 to leave that sentence as it is.

@worley: You are correct. I don't know how to edit my original post.

It's probably best to say "may need to be quoted".  In fact, whether it needs to be quoted depends on the shell in question.  And there are multiple shells.

I was going over the documentation and came across the following:


find takes all arguments after ‘-execdir’ to be part of the command until an argument consisting of ‘;’ is reached. It replaces the string ‘{}’ by the current file name being processed everywhere it occurs in the command. Both of these constructions need to be escaped (with a ‘\’) or quoted to protect them from expansion by the shell.


Here

The thing is, the curly braces need not be quoted.
