My request is that if someone would change it, then they would put in a
command line switch to the ls command. ls is a UNIX command and should not
be messed with. This way if someone wants that nature to always be true,
makes a lot of sense to me, then they could simply write an alias that
always adds the command line switch into the ls command. An alias is a
possibility isn't it?
