I still don't understand one thing -
The problem is now fixed, right?
It appears that it's still using a very hacky regexp - see (defvar
directory-listing-before-filename-regexp...) during file deletion.
which does all kinds of hacky checks, guessing where the timestring ends
and where the filename begins.
(A) So, is this still a hack?
(B) Is the problem fixed for good, or can one still concoct edge cases?
(C) If it is fixed, then why does that regex need this massive hack?
