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.

Please, either C-w or M-w.

If we want to be "like most file managers", we need to show buttons on
the tool bar or pop up a menu, not just ask for a key with
read-answer.
