I think the "command ls" is better since there are all sorts of ways
that one can write an ls () function for personal use. For example, you
can, instead of using color, have symbols appended to the file name. No
matter how the user has redefined ls, "command ls" will use the
ordinary ls (likely /bin/ls).
