Hi Bobby, who cares how you vote! You're no maintainer. I vote for 
global pease...

So I comply to Mr. Brady requests, a maintainer, and opt-in the journal.

-J, --journal

But I myself use an alias

alias ls="ls --group-directories-first --quoting-style=shell 
--time-style='+%d.%m. %Y %T' --color=auto -p -J."

so another

ls -J

on command line switch the journal off again.

I also make an optional thousands separator

  -J, --journal[=SEP]        switch journal on/off [with thousands 
separator]

without it a blank number appears.

I also made it work in all modes, not only in long_format.

If you ask for a journal, you get one!
