Description: ls FsShell command implementation has been consistent with the
linux implementations of ls \-l. With the addition of symlinks, I would expect
the ability to show file type 'd' for directory, '\-' for file, and 'l' for
symlink. In addition, following the linkname entry for symlinks, I would expect
the ability to show \- link target. In linux, the default is to the the
properties of the link and not of the link target. In linux, '-L' option allows
for the dereferencing of symlinks to show link target properties, but it is not
the default. (was: ls FsShell command implementation has been consistent with
