my-count-and-count-list-ls-update.patch
Hello Coreutils maintainers,
This patch adds two new options to `ls`:
--count : Display the total number of directories, files and
symbolic links.
--count-list : Display a detailed count + list of directories,
files and symbolic links present in the current directory.
The purpose of this update is to make it easier for users to quickly see
object counts when listing directory contents.
The patch was tested on coreutils-9.3 using `make check`, and all tests passed.
I have attached the patch file with this email.
Thank you for maintaining Coreutils and for reviewing my contribution!

It's hard to review this patch as it's mostly reindented changes.
Can you resend with just the logic changes.
Can you give example outputs from the new options.
Note new options to ls have a high bar.
thanks,
Padraig
