Oh, I'm sorry, you are right. It seems that one needs to require
dired-x, too. So here a completed/amended recipe:
>> 1. emacs -Q
>> 2. (setq dired-listing-switches "-Alhp") ;; the -p prints dirs as foo/,
>> ;; i.e., with trailing /.
2.1 (require 'dired-x)
>> 3. M-x dired RET ~ RET
3.1 Create foobar subdir using `+ foobar RET'
3.2 Refresh using `g' because only then the new foobar directory will be
shown as foobar/ instead of foobar (without the trailing /).
>> 4. Visit directory ~/foobar/ in dired (a new dired buffer)
>> 5. Delete ~/foobar/ directory in the original dired buffer
>> 6. Dired asks: "Kill Dired buffer of , too?" where it should ask if the
>> buffer of foobar should be killed.
Bye,
