   "Insert directory listing for FILE, formatted according to SWITCHES.
 Leaves point after the inserted text.
+SWITCHES may be a string of options, or a list of strings.
 Optional third arg WILDCARD means treat FILE as shell wildcard.
 Optional fourth arg FULL-DIRECTORY-P means file is a directory and
 switches do not contain `d', so that a full listing is expected.
