Plan 9 du(1) is inconsistent with BSD's: du -s walks down one
directory in Plan 9 before the summary.  I believe that I can achieve
that effect, should I want it, by entering du -s *, whereas I can't
achieve the same effect as NetBSD's du -s / using Plan 9's semantics.

Do I need a new du of my own or would the community accept a modified
du(1) with BSD semantics?  Is there a reason for the Plan 9 semantics
that I am unaware of?
