>Description:
  ls(1)'s man page says:
    "-W      Display whiteouts when scanning directories."
  It's unclear what "-W" should do.
  Option -W is not recognized.
>How-To-Repeat:

  ls -W
>Fix:
	
  a) Implement and (better) document -W
  or
  b) Remove confusing reference to -W option from ls(1) manpage
