It appears to come from a file named 'BlowDir.el'.

This is at the top of the file:

It has no other commentary, and annoyingly enough, no docstrings either.

I don't know where it came from, or how it made its way into my setup,
but it seems to implement at least 2 commands that I use in Dired on a
regular basis: goto-next-dangling-link and correct-dangling-links-by-pattern.

Does anyone know what this is?
