Well now it's gone from the bad situation of confusing filename output

No, you just get different output options available in the same program,
namely GNU ls.

 And completely unstandardised between programs, even the defaults of
the GNU versions of ls and find. So you never know how newlines in

solution is if they're never there in the first place, but
unfortunately they are allowed to be.
