The 'ls' completion list takes up more screen space than it need.  For example
with ls directory contents are listed as..
% zsh -f  # To get rid of LS_COLORS though doesnt make any difference...
aragorn% ls -F

Listing completions for 'ls' uses more lines because it formats using one less
column.

Mainly just curious why there is a difference.
