Yep, it seems to follow the principle of least astonishment.  I like it.
I frequently encounter pages with 12 links on a line, so this would be useful!
i$* belongs, if for no other reason than regularity of
the command set.

How would these work?  Would they just operate on the current file?
Another alternative would be to have a single lsf command that operates
kind of like a toggle.  Initially, you just see filenames in the buffer,
like the situation today.  But when lsf is invoked, the buffer is rebuilt
to display stat info alongside each filename.
Executing lsf again would hide the extra info.
This one isn't all that important to me either way.

You should keep it.  Yes, it's ugly, but it means that we never ever ever
have to worry about colliding with user functions when extending the
edbrowse command set.  Sometimes there's a lot to be said for
conventions, even ugly ones.
