Where is it supported?  I've never seen it?
Well, it _is_ documented, after all.

Remember way back before that silly old expression derived from a line in a now-campy Sci-Fi movie became popular, there was a much better expression that even had it's own acronym:

RTFM


Is it an "os" or "shell" feature so that it is not "ls" specific?
RTFM


Otherwise I'd think an ls(1) man page perusal would answer the question negatively.

No free fish today, but I will offer a hint: There's more to Cygwin documentation than man pages or info files.
