I assume this is a different sl than https://man.cx/sl(6)

While the real sl (Steam Locomotive) isn't installed on that many systems, I can only imagine the annoyance that it must bring to any former Facebook engineers when they assume that it's the version control
I wonder how many typoed invocations of ls correspond to sl commands. Like if you have an update directory.

Although now that I think about it, if hg had displayed a steam locomotive, maybe people wouldn't have noticed how slow it was...
