I often use 'view' mode to look at files in a read-only mode. Typically, this
is using dired, and then hitting 'v'. It seems rather broken. Some keys in
view-mode are bound to special functions, but other keys just go ahead and self-
insert (so it's not really read-only).
Maybe what I really want is a key binding for dired that opens files read-only.

The regular `find-file-read-only*' bindings provide the current Dired line's
file as the first default value.
