Thanks Pádraig for the thoughtful reply!
You bring up some good points, which for the sake of interesting
discussion i'd like to follow up on also. (Maybe later this week...)
So to follow up - i don't have any action items here, just some details

Greetings Coreutils,
I'm submitting for your consideration here a patch to add the standard
'--files0-from=FILE' option to ls.
(To read NUL-terminated names from FILE rather than using command line
arguments.)
Motivation for adding this to ls is

Carl
