[ale] find command and customization

[jcpilman at gmail.com (John Pilman)]

I usually avoid re-writing the common commands. Instead I pick a
similar name.  In this case it would be 'f'.

alias f='find . -maxdepth -type f -name'

now
f "whatever"
will only search the pwd.  This may not be exactly what you need, but
maybe it gets you a step closer.
