What would you want it to do?  "-d" says to show info on the directory
and NOT expand it.
"-d" says give info on the "name" that you type in rather than any
contents.

The "-R" says to recursively expand any names that point to
directories, but you just told "ls"  to show all of the input
arguments as  names-only (with -d)  and not expand any
contents...  So what can '-R' expand?


I.e. -- what would you expect "-R" to do in such a circumstance
-- or rather, what would you *want* it to do?..
