Thanks for the report.
Unfortunately, ls is already way too overloaded - there's very little
room for adding more short options.
But what you are asking for is already present in stat(1), which is also
friendlier for scripting (unambiguous access to exactly the information
you want, rather than having to parse fields of ls output and possibly
getting it wrong).
