Is there a way to parse open-ended parameters that may contain - or -- up until some predefined end-of-parameter-sequence marker or the end of the argument array?

e.g. If I wanted to do something like find -exec, how would I go about it?

find . -type d -exec ls -la {} +

find . -type d -exec ls -la {} \;

• where ls -la {} is an arbitrary command-template called for a given set of files by my application in a child process.
