GNU awk can do this too. But it's not really in the filesystem, so it's cheating.
Of course, with FUSE and asynchronous name lookup, we can do this properly, without relying on a horrible userspace-NFS-server hack. (ls(1) would necessarily only be able to show you names you'd already looked up, though.)
