Since switching back to dired has irreversible side effects, I'm a bit
nervous about doing it that way. It would work great tho if wdired was
changed so it doesn't perform the file operations but just records them for
dired so a dired-execute later actually performs them.

I don't think we can do that with the current code: when switching to
wdired, we store the "current state" so that at the end we can see what has
changed and apply those changes. Switching only bindings is not enough.
But if we change dired to constantly keep the "current state", then we
could do that.
