Documented Dired changes.

(Actually, this feature was introduced with Emacs 22, but it was not
documented.)

* Incompatible Editing Changes in Emacs 23.1

** In Dired, `dired-flag-garbage-files' is rebound from `&' to `%&'
on the regexp command prefix map.

+++
** In Dired-x, all command guesses for ! are now added to the default

incremental search commands as well: C-s or C-M-s starts searching
the default values and after the end of defaults they continue
searching minibuffer completion items.
---
*** Minibuffer input of shell commands now comes with completion.

*** In the `C-x d' (Dired) prompt, typing M-n gives the visited file
name of the current buffer.

*** In the M-! (shell-command) prompt, M-n provides some default commands.
These are guessed using the file extension of the current file, based

+++
*** The new function `diff-show-trailing-whitespaces' shows
trailing whitespace problems in the modified lines of a diff buffer.

** Dired

*** In Dired, C-x C-q now runs the command wdired-change-to-wdired-mode,
and C-x C-q in wdired-mode exits it with asking a question about
saving changes.

*** `&' runs the command `dired-do-async-shell-command' that executes
the command asynchronously without the need to manually add ampersand
to the end of the command.  Its output appears in the buffer `*Async Shell
Command*'.

*** `M-s f C-s' and `M-s f M-C-s' run Isearch that matches only at file names.
When a new user option `dired-isearch-filenames' is non-nil, then even
ordinary Isearch started with `C-s' and `C-M-s' matches only at file names
in the Dired buffer.  You can toggle file names matching on or off
by typing `M-s f' in Isearch mode.

*** `M-s a C-s' and `M-s a M-C-s' run multi-file Isearch on the marked files.
They visit the first marked file in the sequence and display the usual Isearch
prompt for a string or a regexp where all Isearch commands are available.

*** `Q' in Dired provides two new keys for multi-file replacement.
The upper case key `Y' replaces all remaining matches in all remaining files
with no more questions.  The upper case key `N' stops doing replacements
in the current file and skips to the next file.  These multi-file keys
are available for all commands that use `tags-query-replace'
