Hi there,
For what it does, it seems dired-omit-mode should just be an interactive
function. The name is so confusing that some people are suggesting
(dired-omit-mode 1) to enable it, which actually does almost nothing if
you put it in your .emacs file.

The docs are pretty clear on that:
dired-omit-mode is an interactive compiled Lisp function in `dired-
x.el'.
(dired-omit-mode &optional ARG)
Toggle Dired-Omit mode.
With numeric ARG, enable Dired-Omit mode if ARG is positive, disable
otherwise. Enabling and disabling is buffer-local.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
If enabled, "uninteresting" files are not listed.
Uninteresting files are those whose filenames match regexp `dired-omit-
files', plus those ending with extensions in `dired-omit-extensions'.
Bye,
Tassilo

Is dired-omit-mode and cousine options something we forgot to autoload, or?

It's in dired-x.el. I don't know if there should be autoloads for such
addons.

Maybe the docstring should say what is the preferred way to enable it
in .emacs? E.g. (add-hook 'dired-mode-hook (lambda () (dired-omit-mode 1)))
