I would like this. It makes it more consistent IMHO. It also makes it
easier to pipe the output into other commands, such as xargs.
I haven't read the referenced email yet, but I think the current way
is confusing and inflexible. Also it is easier to add the path back in
later then remove it.

Interesting point. See my other post.
My preference would be to have "ls" act like ls (and maybe even
support common options such as -l), but only list known
files. However, this would break the current UI :-( ).
