Apparently, directory-listing-before-filename-regexp was created to replace
dired-move-to-filename-regexp. The new var is used in several files.
I didn't notice any alias to the old name (perhaps I missed it). That would
be helpful, particularly to ease compatibility for external libraries.

The meaning of the new variable seems to be the same as the old,
so an alias would be good to add.

I don't think we can simply defvaralias in this case, since
directory-listing-before-filename-regexp is not used the same as
dired-move-to-filename-regexp was. Please compare the code of
dired-move-to-file-name in v21.4 and in the current CVS, and you will
see that these two variables are not equivalent.

dired-move-to-filename-regexp was.
The doc strings say they have the same meaning. So if they do not
in fact have the same meaning, one of the doc strings must be wrong.
Is the current variable's doc string wrong?

No, it isn't wrong. It seems like I misunderstood the code in
dired-move-to-filename. Sorry.

Someone more familiar with this may correct me, but I think they are the
same thing within Dired.
I believe that the change was to add this elsewhere as well, and that change
alone (even if the behavior elsewhere was similar) makes them different
(different contexts).
