Hm, the doc string says that `.' and `..' are never
toggled. That means that this was intentional (why?).
But (luckily) `dired-toggle-marks' is not used
anywhere in the vanilla Emacs Lisp code (except as
for key bindings).
A proper change could perhaps be one of the following:
* Just let it toggle `.' and `..', reversing the
design (intention) for those.
* Do that only when invoked interactively (so any code
that invokes it non-interactively isn't affected).
* Add a user option, to control whether it toggles
`.' and `..'.
(For Dired+ I'll go with the first, at least until
or unless vanilla Emacs decides to do something
else for this.)
___
BTW, the doc string for this is not good. It speaks
of "other flags (such as `D')". It should say "other
marks (such as `D')." `D' is the only mark that we
refer to also as a "flag" - there are no other flags.
___
BTW2: What is the "insdel" referred to in the code
comment?
