One way would be to extend --format to allow fairly arbitrary formats
that can specify column widths. For example, Emacs could do this:
ls --format='%11m %2l %8o %8g %7s %12d %f'
to have "ls" list the mode, link, owner, group, size, date, and file
name in the traditional widths for "ls -l". This would resemble the
way "ls --time-style" already handles date formats.
Another possibility is to have a new option to disable the new
feature, e.g. "ls --traditional-column-widths". This would be a bit
easier to implement, but would be less general and might have problems
of its own (e.g., users and implementations don't agree on what the
traditional widths are).
I understand that some non-GNU ls implementations also adapt column
widths to data, so the Emacs problem would remain with these
implementations, regardless of how we change GNU ls.
