and what if bash is a symlink to something else?  it's not uncommon at
all to have different shells point at the one that's installed.
certain versions of osx runs zsh (luckily that also supports

that's why i said sed should be run _once_ over the whole output of
ls.  either way, i really don't care.  if it works it works, it's not
like we're worrying about performance.
