How does humanize decide which column to work on? If it only works on
"ls -l", then it's not useful if I want other columns as well. Maybe
it could just humanize any large number it found, but you probably
don't want to "humanize" the inode number or filename.
I felt -s was a redundant "kindasorta -l".
Except they are reporting completely different things - consider sparse
files or filesystems (like ZFS) that support compression.
