But obviously, when we use the ls-lisp functions tinstead
of the `ls' executable, we can put text-properties so that
the filename can be found unambiguously without any regexp
or guessing or anything (including filenames
like "foo -> bar" or filenames with \n in their names).
This is right. If ls-lisp can be as general and as fast as
running ls, or nearly so, then it is better for this reason.
As for using the --dired option, the main difficulty is that
we need to handle systems which don't support this option.
If there is a good way to use --dired when it is available
and cope when it is not, that could be a good approach.
