Description

Is there a convenient way to format a `FileStatus`? I am looking for an interactive equivalent of the Unix `ls -l`, and it seems that I have to write this from scratch.

FWIW, [here](https://gist.github.com/eschnett/1b3d07b21827631827e20087cb1b8616) is my current attempt -- I'm sure it can be improved.

Research direction

Start by reading the FileStatus API and the linked gist, then inspect the repository for existing shell-formatting or listing entry points. Define what an interactive Unix `ls -l` equivalent should include and consider how the requested formatting would fit the current interface; done means a documented, usable way to format FileStatus values.
