---No, I wanted space that "would" be allocated on a device if the device allocated size in bytes -- which is what 'du' does.
I even said I wanted the output of ls's block-size output to be enhanced to pay attention to what users specify via that parameter.I wanted a simple multi-column output like 'ls' provides.
I wanted it just to work -- not require a program or figuring it out but just have it be user-friendly -- something the tools designed by gnu definitely are not.
