$ time;

real    0m0.000s
user    0m0.000s
sys     0m0.000s
$ time;ls
bash: syntax error near unexpected token `ls'
$ /usr/bin/time;/bin/ls Usage: /usr/bin/time [-apvV] [-f format] [-o file] [--append] [--verbose]
       [--portability] [--format=format] [--output=file] [--version]
       [--quiet] [--help] command [arg...]

It's the 2nd one that surprises me.
Why would time; succeed but time;anything fail  ?
