FYI the revision of duhs() I adopt is:

duhs() { ( shopt -s dotglob; printf '%s\0' "${1:-.}" "${1:-.}"*/ | xargs 
-0 du -shl ) }                                                ↑

Please note that I dropped a "/" in the "${1:-.}"/*/ block because the 
directories listed had a double "//" in their names:

~# duhs /usr/local/
88K     /usr/local/
4,0K    /usr/local//bin/
4,0K    /usr/local//etc/
4,0K    /usr/local//games/
4,0K    /usr/local//include/
4,0K    /usr/local//man/
4,0K    /usr/local//sbin/
60K     /usr/local//share/
4,0K    /usr/local//src/

Thank again,
Cheers,
