Yes, this is not a "problem", but would be a useful improvement indeed.
I was thinking how to avoid stat calls.
This becomes more interesting if there is any way to do "ls -R"
without stat calls too - it's much more common thing to do than bare "ls"
(and it usually lists much more files, so the win is bigger),
but nothing comes to mind.
