Yes, please, if we implement the possibility of auto-reverting, then let's keep
it only a possibility, not an obligation. IOW, let's also make it possible to
choose not to auto-revert.

It might even be useful to give such control for specific directories or classes
of directories: have two options, analogous to `special-display-buffer-names'
and `special-display-regexps' (and `same-window-*').

`dired-auto-revert-names':
List of directories for which Dired auto-reverts.

`dired-auto-revert-regexps':
List of regexps specifying which Dired buffers are auto-reverted.

If both are nil, then there is no auto-reverting.
If `dired-auto-revert-regexps' is `(".")', then all Dired buffers are
auto-reverted.

Just a thought. But please keep the possibility of not auto-reverting.
