Here we go. again. You wanted it included, not me. I'm just telling you what you should do to make Jim happy. =) Some more nitpicks, I don't think this option deserves an short option. And maybe you could make the long option take an argument? I.e. something like --broader-size=12, this way

OK. Here we go. Make it an option, and it might just be usefull. Changing the default is silly since most files tend to be far smaller than 1GB, and this just wastes precious space on the screen. Would you like to do this? You could look at the some of the output formating switches to see ho

File-sizes get bigger. I have regularly files that are >= 1.000.000.000 bytes. This makes ls output a bit "difficult" to read and the format is "jumpy" if they are mixed with files <= 999.999.999 in size. Why not just use --human-readable? I would have a hard time reading several line
