Assume we are running STABLE_9 (RELENG_9) and want the latest CURRENT date, dd, df, pwd...

A slight chance this may be useful. (I restored ls from backup after this procedure
today because it broke color completion, explicity; maybe a kernel option or HINTS or something... ).
OTOH I noticed no change in the mentioned binaries' results. The man pages maybe are more recent
as a result maybe.
