	I wish I had an LS command that defaulted to ignoring
	any #?.info files.. The reason being that I like to
	have Workbench around, but having a zillion .info files in
	every directory makes it an unbearable mess. Or, better
	still, have the .info information inside of every file
	as a new hunk type at/near the beginning of the file. If it
	didn't have the HUNK_WBINFO (or whatever), then workbench
	wouldn't display it. Or have a new bit (w) that would tell
	whether or not there is a HUNK_WBINFO inside the file, so
	workbench could just ExNext through the directory in a
	really fast mode and use generic icons (remember, FAST) based
	on the New Binary/Text and Executable/Data (b/- , x/-) bits
	that Would Be Implemented. This would make Workbench functional,
	fast, and useful for people (such as myself) who won't use workbench
	on floppies because it's too damn slow.

	Just some ideas.
