Just noticed that vanilla `dired-mode' says this:

 Customization variables (rename this buffer and type C-h v on each line
 for more info):

   `dired-listing-switches'
   `dired-trivial-filenames'
   `dired-marker-char'
   `dired-del-marker'
   `dired-keep-marker-rename'
   `dired-keep-marker-copy'
   `dired-keep-marker-hardlink'
   `dired-keep-marker-symlink'

These two variables are NOT user options, which is usually what Emacs
means nowadays when speaking of "customization variables":
`dired-marker-char' and `dired-del-marker'.  That characterization here
is a bit misleading.

In GNU Emacs 26.3 (build 1, x86_64-w64-mingw32)

I've now removed the list and referred to the `dired' customisation
group instead in Emacs 28.
