Hi Friends, I've made some changes, and I believe I've addressed all the docstring issues and grammatical errors. I'll attach it here. I've also renamed the concept as just "dired-captured" since as Eli pointed out, it is just a list rather than a ring. As Juri suggested, I've also added a buffer pop-up similar to `dired-do-delete' to show the captured files staged for the given operation, and prompt for confirmation, seeing as how there might not be any visual feedback if the original dired-buffer that the files were captured from is no longer visible. I've also changed the original destination target of `default-directory' to instead be `dired-current-directory' to comply with subdirectories.
