Can we trust all the ls implementations to really issue the size at "column" 5?
It should be safe. It was standardized in POSIX 1003.2-1992. Some older 'ls' implementations put it in column 4, but they're long obsolete.
At least the CI agrees :) But since so far the test suite is still using `...`, I used this version: ... +set x $(LC_ALL=C ls -l '$1') &&
That $( ... ) should also be ` ... `.
