There is a solution via custom-completion -- see below -- but am
wondering if there might be a simpler one using :find directly:

function! SFC(ArgLead, CmdLine, CursorPos)

let s:myarg = '*' . a:ArgLead . '*'
"either one of the following lines works
"let s:foo = globpath(&path, s:myarg, 0, 1)
let s:foo = split(globpath(&path, s:myarg), "\n")
return s:foo

endfunction

command! -nargs=* -complete=customlist,SFC TestFc :find <args>
