I can't think of any reason I would use `ls --format` over `find -printf`
Ha! Good point. Nor can I. I'll remove the TODO item.
Actually, from the perspective of modularity that is (justifiably)
hammered on so

Thanks for working on this.

As far as I can tell, most of the logic boils down to insert_fprintf()
in findutils' parser.c.

On the other hand, refactoring the code would probably only be
worthwhile if the result would not be reused.
Obviously the not there should be removed.

I hacked up a prototype of ls with the possibility of specifying
a format string that currently solely defines the order of items.
I had to change quite a bit of the underlying code to make it work,
as in, moving most of the routines called by print_long_format() to
functions, that are both used
