Ah! My mistake. I can’t confirm or deny the existence of those as that’s not 
what I was looking for when I had that stuff in front of me. What you /could/ 
do is to alias the command for your users, not unlike what is often done in the 
/etc/skel files for “ls” to add colors or whatever else. Maybe less convenient, 
but a possible workaround.
