Find existing resources by searching the list of existing resources.  Possible
forms are:

  find(:file => "foobar")
  find(:file => [ "foobar", "baz" ])
  find("file[foobar]", "file[baz]")
  find("file[foobar,baz]")

Calls `run_context.resource_collection.find(*args)`

The is backcompat API, the use of find_resource, below, is encouraged.
