K> Sorry, that breaks find-alternate-file outside of Dired buffers:

Anyways, all the more argument for a set of keybindings that can
insert the current file, or current file name, or dired file on line name, or
recent-file-excluding-minibuffer-itself name, at point.  C-u for full
path.  Wouldn't that save hacking all the different places it is
needed?

It could be integrated with C-x r register stuff, but care should be
taken that the keystrokes don't get too long.
