Research direction

Start with the README's existing shell-conflicts table and inspect Cargo.toml to determine how available coreutils commands and features are represented. Document all at least partially available commands, ideally using the package metadata as the source, and verify that the table remains useful as functionality evolves.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

The Readme has a table of conflicts, but it would be awesome to have a table of all coreutils commands at least partially available.
For example, "ln" to make links isn't mentioned in the Readme. Maybe it's possible to auto-generate a table from Cargo.toml or similar?
The auto-generation would be good as this package functionality and features evolve rapidly.
