Automatically prefixing argument to :find with *

Hello,

Most of my uses of :find family of commands involves starting the
argument with * and hitting tab to get completion.

Would like to avoid the need to explicitly type the prefix *.

The following shows a "chicken and egg" issue: for :Pf to be completed
one needs the prefix *, but one is introducing :Pf just to avoid having
to type the prefix *.

command! -complete=file_in_path -nargs=* Pf :find *<args>

I am able to write a custom completion function, but was wondering if
there was a simpler solution.

Thanks,

--Suresh
