   Even if you say "ls --color=always"?

   And how do the colors look when you invoke 'ls --color' from the

OpenBSD ls doesn't support the --color option (or colors I think?),
not sure I understand why that matters since I think eshell ls does it
all in Emacs Lisp without using any host ls command?
