We didn't get something better. We don't have this command signal an error anymore, do we? I think that's a definite improvement. Besides, you yourself told me to fix the bug, so I did. > The point here is that a Dired user would expect/wish that the > interactive call behaves differently. I do. > Do you know how i noticed the bug? > Because i assumed that a prefix argument will unmark as other > Dired marks, and i got an error (!). But it isn't true that every Dired command that marks files will unmark them if invoked with an argument. E.g., dired-mark doesn't. So this doesn't look like a universal convention in Dired, only a frequent feature. OTOH, since Dired allows the user to use different marker characters in other places, IMO it is not very reasonable to exempt this particular command. Especially since it did have a (semi-broken) way of doing that.
