p.s. I know what you mean by the vague concept of "seeding". For many of the GNU shell utilities it would be nice to be able to specify that -r is to work recursively on the file/pattern specified as the argument(s), i.e. ls -R <somefile> currently will not list <somefile> unless it is a directory.
$ ls --version ls (GNU coreutils) 5.97 ... $ ls -lR x -rw-r--r-- 1 user group 177 2007-06-29 15:52 x "x" is a regular file and ls lists it. What version of ls(1) are you using?
