Thank you, it's now safer.
There are still two problems:
In `dired-do-chmod':
> (modes (dired-mark-read-string
> "Change mode of %s to: "
> ;; Insert initial input if there's only one file.
> (unless (cadr files) default)
> 'chmod arg files default))
Please don't insert the default value as initial input.
Most of the time, users type short symbolic modes that
add/remove permissions on one user part such as "a=rw" or "go-w".
It would be annoying for them to delete initial input
before typing symbolic modes.
Another problem in `dired-mark-read-string':
> STANDARD-VALUE, if non-nil, should be a \"standard\" value or
> list of such values, available via history commands.
STANDARD-VALUE is non-standard terminology. According to
`read-from-minibuffer' it's named DEFAULT-VALUE.
