One finds that -d completely nullifies any -R flag of ls,
so maybe print a warning etc. Or warn on the man page, etc.
What would you want it to do? "-d" says to show info on the directory
and NOT expand it.
"-d" says give info on the "name" that you type in rather than any
contents.
The "-R" says to recursively expand any names that point to
directories, but you just told "ls" to show all of the input
arguments as names-only (with -d) and not expand any
contents... So what can '-R' expand?
I.e. -- what would you expect "-R" to do in such a circumstance
-- or rather, what would you *want* it to do?..
*curious*
