Thanks for the patch.
This was discussed a few months ago, ending on this note:

  http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.coreutils.bugs/12622/focus=12670

where I wrote:

  If someone were to prepare a complete patch,
  (i.e., one that I can simply "git pull ..." or apply with "git am",
  updating NEWS, coreutils.texi, and ls.c's usage (to adjust ls' --help))
  that would make a fine point for further discussion.

And unless someone were to object strongly,
I'd probably just push the change, since
this is a good time in the release cycle.
