piping also strips away the color, if you're using that (`which ls` =
ls: aliased to ls -F --color=auto). and sort also doesn't deal with
the interspersing of dot-files with non-dot-files, which /bin/ls
started doing along with interspersing directories and files ...
not a problem over here, just a curiousity. anyone let us know if you
figure it out.
