The other way of doing it properly is to write a program that open's each

It would be nice if someone was to patch the -R option of chown/chgrp/chmod in
coreutils to do this sort of thing.
To do what? The logic rapidly gets too complex for the command line,
imo. (chown --only-if-uid-isn't-root? chown --onlyuids=1000-1009?)
