Coreutils would like to use acl_trivial(3) in ls(1), in order to more
easily decide whether to print a trailing + in the mode section.

http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/819-2246/6n4i34qck?a=view

I'm also wondering if such a function would help with ACL listings on
directories - currently, coreutils thinks that ALL directories have
non-trivial ACLs, thanks to the 3 default:*:* entries making it so that
there are more than MIN_ACL_ENTRIES associated with each directory; but in
reality, it seems like this situation should qualify as trivial:

$ getfacl .
# file: .
# owner: eblake
# group: None
user::rwx
group::r-x
mask:rwx
other:r-x
default:user::rwx
default:group::---
default:other:---
$ ls -ld .
drwxr-xr-x+ 14 eblake None 0 Jul 14 22:27 .
