I hope the new shell command will be "ls -d" and not "lsd". All our commands should support combinable options rather than adding a new command for every option (like lsr, dus, et).

Shell command "ls" currently does not support option -d. Meanwhile the shell supports command "stat", but needs to supply the print format specifying which attributes to print on the screen. It's hard to use and in addition it does not support printing the file permissions. So I would like to propose that the shell supports "ls -d" and deprecates the command "stat".
