    It maybe a bit less work, but it's certainly not "better" -- without the
    auto-adjustment feature, it "simply" would use absurdly large amounts of
    whitespace _just in case_ a file happens to be hundreds of gigabytes in size
    and have thousands of links.

If ls does what ls used to do, it won't be worse than it was.
