    TAB does not do anything for pcvs, dired, log-view and maybe
    others. It would be nice if TAB would do something for these modes
    too.  

It seems harmless to add that functionality in modes that are
read-only and have distinguishable links.  I don't see that this
is very useful in Dired, though.
