    While I have used emacs for many years, I have never figured out a
    reason why copying a file in dired gives the copied file a marker
    `C'.  So today I wanted to find out, but I failed: the docstring of
    dired-do-copy does not explain it, dired-keep-marker-copy does not
    explain it, and in the emacs info manual I could not find anything
    useful either.  What is the purpose of this feature?  It appears to
    me that it is a feature for experts which is at best distracting for
    ordinary users.  I suggest: either explain it somewhere that is not
    too hard to find or give dired-keep-marker-copy a default value of
    nil (and similar for dired-keep-marker-hardlink,
    dired-keep-marker-symlink).
