    This proposal describes what ! with dired-x loaded already does.
    Wouldn't it be better to move the relevant code from dired-x.el
    to dired.el or dired-aux.el (ca. 300 lines)?

The reason for dired-x.el was so that someone else (Sebastian Kremer)
could add features to it without my having to do the things that were
needed for incorporating them properly into Dired itself.  So I have
never looked at it.  I didn't know it already had this feature.

It sounds like a good idea to merge this code into Dired.  Would you
like to prepare a patch and show it to me?  It needs to include
etc/NEWS and the manual.
