Fair. The diredc "system" is only a few lines of code, with nothing at
all complicated (compare the data structures and compare the code to the
emacs native bookmards). It does presume a 'segregationist' mind-set
that I clearly have and many on this list don't, ie. it didn't occur to
me that people find it desirable to mix up bookmark types. Even though
I've been an emacs user for over 20 years, I was probably also heavily
influenced by pretty much all other file managers, that do have a
bookmark feature, only for directory places. I expect many people coming
to emacs more recently might also have their expectations likewise
influenced by all those other file managers. Now, if one can argue that
it's *objectively* better to mix bookmarks, then one can clearly reject
the diredc system, but once it becomes a subjective issue of expectation
and personal preference, the diredc system isn't so easy to reject.
