But is seems overly gratuitous with little benefit. +1, I don't see how libxo-ized ls(1) adds value. e.g. in Python, one can use pathlib and scandir to walk arbitrarily wide and deep hierarchies, much as 'file ... | xargs foo'. It has even (with hard work by koobs) supported FreeBSD's stat.st_flags since 2.3. So anything ls(1) can do, Python could do anyway.
