SUGGESTION: ls coloring of hard links

Thanks very much for the excellent fileutils programs.

Is there any thought of including coloring of hard links too? It should be
straight forward since if there are more than 1 links to a filename and if
it is not a directory, it means it is a hard link. This coloring would be
useful since changing a file that has a hard link will change the other
file (hard link) too (sometimes you might not want to do this, but do it
because you dont realize it is a hard link). If it was colorized it would
be easier for me to rememeber it is a hard link and be more careful if I
want to change it.
