In this case it can use `--paths-file -`, which means stdin.

I understood that `--paths-file` is suggested to avoid possible
stdin collisions in high-level commands.

It seems that only plumbing commands accept --stdin for paths now.

Both me and you are now trying to address high-level commands, which is
new. This explains why grep doesn't currently find `--paths-file`.

The approach sounds reasonable to me as a long-term strategy:
1) Won't require rework if someone wants file instead
2) stdin is still supported for those who want it
3) There's a way to avoid potential collisions in stdin
