If your shell supports function exports, then the feature already
exists. Merely export the function before invoking find, and make sure
that the -exec action of find invokes the same shell that knows how to
use those exported functions in the environment. And be careful of the
bash shellshock bug.
But there's nothing that can be added directly to find to change the
situation. Function exports is a property of the shell, not of find.
