Request for long option support for find -type

Hello,

I am a user of the GNU findutils package, and I appreciate your work on 
maintaining and improving this useful tool. I have a suggestion for a possible 
enhancement that I think would benefit many users.

I would like to request that the find command supports long options for the 
-type argument, such as "--type=directory" or "-type directory". This would 
make the command more readable and self-explanatory, especially when writing 
bash scripts that use find. It would also be consistent with the other long 
options that find already supports, such as -name, -size, --mtime, etc.

I understand that this might require some changes to the code and the 
documentation, and I am not sure if there are any technical or historical 
reasons why this feature is not implemented yet. However, I think it would be a 
nice addition to the find command, and I hope you will consider it.

Thank you for your time and attention.
