Should "ls -Rdl" traverse directories?

On a related note, one thing I find irksome about the SYSV ls is that:

	$ ls -Rld

is the same as:

	$ ls -ld

I would like a recursive "ls -ld" this way instead of using:

	$ find . -type | xargs ls -ld

What I find even more irksome is that the -R option is there in the first
place!  If you have to put it in, at least get it right!
