Can you clarify which ls you're talking about here?  Is it the one build
into a shell, /bin/ls, or a port?

With tcsh(1), not ls(1). :->

This is our new csh (==tcsh) builtin. Took me some time to
figure it out, too ;)

Ok, I am lame. This is what hapens when you're busy working on
one project, get distracted by IRC, then submit a PR. :P

ls-F never groks flags, it'll always fall back on ls(1) whenever flags
are given. Given this, here's an excerpt from man csh:

color 	 If set, it enables color display for  the  builtin
	 ls-F  and  it  passes --color=auto to ls. Alterna-
   	 tively, it can be set to only ls-F or only  ls  to
 	 enable  color  only  to one command. Setting it to
	 nothing is equivalent to setting it to (ls-F ls).

So when you ``set color'' and ``ls-F -l'', our ls(1) gets
``ls -CF --color=auto -l'' and is naturally confused. The solution
is to use ``set color=ls-F''.

If that is not a disgusting Linuxism, I don't know what is.
