POSIX ls's manpage has examples. Well, one example, of `-laRF`.

But also I can't imagine what good more examples will do anyway. `-lahR` cover the vast majority of common uses.

For me, 99% of the time I use -ltrh and -ltrha. But instead of -R, I use other utilities like fzf, find, or tree. Tree is really nice for a quick overview of directory structures.
