Interesting that the output of ls doesn't show the actual name in the filesystem, but rather the name I typed on the command line.

It doesn't work with regexes, etc. F* won't catch foo.

On a tangent, I've noticed that ls reports sizes in bytes,
but Finder reports sizes in multiples of 4k.

A file containing 'a' is reported as 1 byte in ls, but
4k by Finder. It doesn't have a resource fork, though.

I wonder which is more accurate.
